I would avoid importing the package itself from inside of it. That is,  
 from the *outside*, import idm as any other client would do. And from  
*inside* the package, import the relevant parts using relative imports.
I'm not convinced this is absolutely the right way to do things, but at  
least it's less bug prone.
