    	This isn't really true.  If this is the only thing you're worried 
about, you can always do the "manual" version of a "from X import Y":

import formats.wavread
wavread = formats.wavread

wavread.someFunc() # refers to functions in module formats.wavread.

    	Also, I'm too lazy to check right now, but I wouldn't be suprised 
if "mport formats.wavread as wavread" also works even in the circular 
case.
