It was simply to make a point. But then lets say the to files looks
like this:

 *******************************
atest.py:

def printA():
        print "This is Atest from Apack"
*******************************
btest.py:
from Test.apack import atest

def printB():
        print "This is Btest from Bpack"

def printatest():
        print atest.printA()

print printB()
print printatest()
*******************************

Now only one of them imports the other, and this most be the simplest
way of illustrating the intra-package references.
But how do I get this to work?
