module Cyclic references

[Karthik Gurumurthy]

hi all,
my code is behaving in a strange way.

I have 4 modules

test.py -- > from movie import Movie, Rental 
movie.py --> has 2 classes Movie , Rental 
		#needs price and hence does 
		import price
price.py --> needs Movie 
		#does
		from movie import Movie, Rental
cust.py  --> has one class Customer

so this is the sequence.

test-->loads movie --> load price which in turn needs movie.

Can someone tell me what's wrong here??

>>> import test
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "test.py", line 1, in ?
    from movie import Movie, Rental
  File "movie.py", line 1, in ?
    import price
  File "price.py", line 1, in ?
    from movie import Movie, Rental
ImportError: cannot import name Movie
>>>


This sequence works just fine!
>>> import price
>>> import movie
>>> import cust
>>> import test

thanks 
karthik.

Maybe Nedit is good for Windows people: www.nedit.org
(but I use emacs myself -- those "arcane" editors are
tried and true).
