Your entry.models file is trying to import send_entry_created from entry.signals but entry.signals then attempts to import Entries from entry.models, which leads to trying to import send_entry_created from entry.signals again and instead of entering an infinite loop Python reports the error. You need to structure your code/imports so that there are no circular imports.
