Are there any circular imports in the scripts (e.g. A imports B which imports C 
which imports A)? This error message is sometimes seen when attempting to access 
attributes of a module which is still in the process of being imported.

There are a couple of bug reports on Source Forge about it - it hasn't been 
fixed yet, mainly because it's a damn hard problem in need of a solution that is 
still to be found ;)

The simplest resolution is to find a way to break the circularity (usually by 
moving the code responsible for the circularity to a different - possibly new - 
module)

If you don't have any circular imports, then I'm out of ideas :)

Cheers,
Nick.
