Problem with python 3.2 and circular imports

[Rafael Durán Castañeda]

I'm stil totally stuck with relative imports, i' ve tried the example tree
from PEP 328 without any result:

package/
    __init__.py
    subpackage1/
        __init__.py
        moduleX.py
        moduleY.py
    subpackage2/
        __init__.py
        moduleZ.py
    moduleA.py

Assuming that the current file is either moduleX.py or
subpackage1/__init__.py, following are correct usages of the new
syntax:

from .moduleY import spam
from .moduleY import spam as ham
from . import moduleY
from ..subpackage1 import moduleY
from ..subpackage2.moduleZ import eggs
from ..moduleA import foo
from ...package import bar
from ...sys import path

I always get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "moduleY.py", line 1, in <module>
    from ..moduleA import a
ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package
