copied!<h1>Words</h1> <p>The structure is as follows: a module <code>test</code> contains two submodules <code>test.foo</code> and <code>test.bar</code>.</p> <p><code>test.foo</code> has a function <code>inc()</code> that uses <code>test.bar.bar()</code> so based on the python documentation <code>from . import bar</code> is the proper way to include that, and this works as expected.</p> <p><code>test.bar</code> however, also has a function <code>inc2</code> that uses <code>test.foo.foo</code>, but when <code>from . import foo</code> is used, both of these modules break.</p> <p>What is the correct method for achieving this?
