这里有很多很棒的答案。虽然通常有快速解决问题的解决方案，其中一些比其他的更python化，但如果您有能力进行一些重构，另一种方法是分析代码的组织，并尝试删除循环依赖。例如，你可能会发现:

文件a.py

from b import B

class A:
    @staticmethod
    def save_result(result):
        print('save the result')

    @staticmethod
    def do_something_a_ish(param):
        A.save_result(A.use_param_like_a_would(param))
    
    @staticmethod
    def do_something_related_to_b(param):
        B.do_something_b_ish(param)

文件b.py

from a import A

class B:
    @staticmethod
    def do_something_b_ish(param):
        A.save_result(B.use_param_like_b_would(param))

在这种情况下，只需要将一个静态方法移动到一个单独的文件中，例如c.py:

文件c.py

def save_result(result):
    print('save the result')

将允许从A中删除save_result方法，从而允许从b中的A中删除A的导入:

重构文件a.py

from b import B
from c import save_result

class A:
    @staticmethod
    def do_something_a_ish(param):
        save_result(A.use_param_like_a_would(param))
    
    @staticmethod
    def do_something_related_to_b(param):
        B.do_something_b_ish(param)

重构文件b.py

from c import save_result

class B:
    @staticmethod
    def do_something_b_ish(param):
        save_result(B.use_param_like_b_would(param))

总之，如果你有一个工具(例如pylint或PyCharm)，它报告的方法可以是静态的，只是在它们上抛出一个staticmethod装饰器可能不是静音警告的最好方法。尽管方法看起来与类相关，但最好将其分离出来，特别是如果您有几个密切相关的模块，它们可能需要相同的功能，并且您打算实践DRY原则。

Ok, I think I have a pretty cool solution. Let's say you have file a and file b. You have a def or a class in file b that you want to use in module a, but you have something else, either a def, class, or variable from file a that you need in your definition or class in file b. What you can do is, at the bottom of file a, after calling the function or class in file a that is needed in file b, but before calling the function or class from file b that you need for file a, say import b Then, and here is the key part, in all of the definitions or classes in file b that need the def or class from file a (let's call it CLASS), you say from a import CLASS

这是可行的，因为您可以导入文件b，而无需Python执行文件b中的任何导入语句，因此您可以避免任何循环导入。

例如:

文件:

class A(object):

     def __init__(self, name):

         self.name = name

CLASS = A("me")

import b

go = B(6)

go.dostuff

文件b:

class B(object):

     def __init__(self, number):

         self.number = number

     def dostuff(self):

         from a import CLASS

         print "Hello " + CLASS.name + ", " + str(number) + " is an interesting number."

喉咙痛。

这里有个例子让我震惊!

foo.py

import bar

class gX(object):
    g = 10

bar.py

from foo import gX

o = gX()

main.py

import foo
import bar

print "all done"

在命令行:$ python main.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "m.py", line 1, in <module>
    import foo
  File "/home/xolve/foo.py", line 1, in <module>
    import bar
  File "/home/xolve/bar.py", line 1, in <module>
    from foo import gX
ImportError: cannot import name gX

如果你导入foo(在bar.py内部)和导入bar(在foo.py内部)，它会工作得很好。在实际运行任何东西时，两个模块都将完全加载，并将相互引用。

问题是当你做from foo import abc(在bar.py内)和from bar import xyz(在foo.py内)时。因为现在每个模块都需要另一个模块已经被导入(以便导入的名称存在)，然后才能导入它。

模块a.py:

import b
print("This is from module a")

模块b.py

import a
print("This is from module b")

运行“Module a”将输出:

>>> 
'This is from module a'
'This is from module b'
'This is from module a'
>>> 

它输出了这3行，而由于循环导入，它应该输出不定式。 这里列出了运行“模块a”时逐行发生的事情:

The first line is import b. so it will visit module b The first line at module b is import a. so it will visit module a The first line at module a is import b but note that this line won't be executed again anymore, because every file in python execute an import line just for once, it does not matter where or when it is executed. so it will pass to the next line and print "This is from module a". After finish visiting whole module a from module b, we are still at module b. so the next line will print "This is from module b" Module b lines are executed completely. so we will go back to module a where we started module b. import b line have been executed already and won't be executed again. the next line will print "This is from module a" and program will be finished.

正如其他答案所描述的，这种模式在python中是可以接受的:

def dostuff(self):
     from foo import bar
     ...

这将避免在文件被其他模块导入时执行import语句。只有当存在逻辑循环依赖时，这才会失败。

大多数循环导入实际上不是逻辑循环导入，而是会引发ImportError错误，这是因为import()在调用时计算整个文件的顶级语句的方式。

如果你确实想要你的导入在顶部，这些ImportErrors几乎总是可以避免的:

考虑这个循环导入:

应用一个

# profiles/serializers.py

from images.serializers import SimplifiedImageSerializer

class SimplifiedProfileSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
    name = serializers.CharField()

class ProfileSerializer(SimplifiedProfileSerializer):
    recent_images = SimplifiedImageSerializer(many=True)

应用程序B

# images/serializers.py

from profiles.serializers import SimplifiedProfileSerializer

class SimplifiedImageSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
    title = serializers.CharField()

class ImageSerializer(SimplifiedImageSerializer):
    profile = SimplifiedProfileSerializer()

来自David Beazleys的精彩演讲:模块和包:生存和死亡!PyCon 2015, 1:54:00，这里是一个处理python循环导入的方法:

try:
    from images.serializers import SimplifiedImageSerializer
except ImportError:
    import sys
    SimplifiedImageSerializer = sys.modules[__package__ + '.SimplifiedImageSerializer']

它尝试导入SimplifiedImageSerializer，如果ImportError被引发，因为它已经被导入，它将从importcache中拉出它。
