Circular Imports in Python

PythonModules & ImportsImport Systembeginner

What this snippet does

If two modules import each other at the top level, Python raises ImportError due to incomplete initialization.

Expected output

Circular dependency causes ImportError

Why practise typing this

Typing modules & imports code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Python uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
