In a module that might get tangled in a cycle, avoid global code
that depends on other modules. Instead of putting such
initialization at top level, put inside a function that gets
called after all suspect imports are completed. (That function
has global keywords ).
Similarly avoid class attribute initialization at class level, if
such initialization references higher level modules.
