ImportError: cannot import name 'variable' from 'module'
I am using Flask for my web framework. I am having an issue with imports. I am not understanding why can't I import my variable when I declare it within my my_app/__init__.py:
from flask import Flask
from flask_login import LoginManager
from my_app.some_module.my_class.py import auth
app = Flask(__name__)
login_manager = LoginManager()
class Config:
def __init__(self):
pass
config = Config()
My conflictuous imports are present in my_app/some_module/my_class.py:
from flask import Blueprint
from my_app import login_manager # this one works fine
from my_app import config
auth = Blueprint('auth', __name__)
I run the app with run.py:
from my_app import app
app.run(debug=True)
I then get the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
File ".../my_app/some_module/my_class.py", line 1, in <module>
from my_app import login_manager, config
ImportError: cannot import name 'config' from 'my_app' (.../my_app/__init__.py)
Project structure is:
my_app
+ __init__.py
some_module
+ __init__.py
+ my_class.py
+ run.py

The problem is that you have a cyclic dependency. By the time you import auth from my_app.some_module.my_class.py your config is not set yet. Try moving that import to the end of the my_app/__init__.py file like:
from flask import Flask
from flask_login import LoginManager
app = Flask(__name__)
login_manager = LoginManager()
class Config:
pass
config = Config()
from my_app.some_module.my_class.py import auth

You have a cyclic import: my_app.some_module -> my_app.some_module.my_class -> my_app.some_module.
You can fix this by moving both Config and config to a separate module my_app.some_module.config.
# my_app.some_module.my_config
class Config:
pass
config = Config()
# my_app.some_module.my_class
from .my_config import config
# my_app.some_module.__init__
from .my_config import config
from .my_class import MyClass
This means that every import does not depend on previous imports:
my_app.some_module
|-> my_app.some_module.my_class -> my_app.some_module.config
-> my_app.some_module.my_config
Doing imports this way instead of moving the import for .my_class to the end of __init__.py is more robust. You can freely reorder the imports of .my_class and .my_config at the top of files.
