Circular imports in Python 2 and Python 3: when are they fatal? When do they work?

When are Python circular imports fatal?

In your Python package, you have:

  • an __init__.py that designates this as a Python package
  • a module_a.py, containing a function action_a() that references an attribute (like a function or variable) in module_b.py, and
  • a module_b.py, containing a function action_b() that references an attribute (like a function or variable) in module_a.py.

This situation can introduce a circular import error: module_a attempts to import module_b, but can't, because module_b needs to import module_a, which is in the process of being interpreted.

But, sometimes Python is magic, and code that looks like it should cause this circular import error works just fine!

Created April 28, 2018 05:01 — forked from jn0/rtsp-rtp-sample.py
Sample Python script to employ RTSP/RTP to play a stream from an IP-cam (from stackoverflow)
"""
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28022432/receiving-rtp-packets-after-rtsp-setup
A demo python code that ..
1) Connects to an IP cam with RTSP
2) Draws RTP/NAL/H264 packets from the camera
3) Writes them to a file that can be read with any stock video player (say, mplayer, vlc & other ffmpeg based video-players)
Done for educative/demonstrative purposes, not for efficiency..!
