I don't know what you tried, but I can easily replicate Frank's results with an empty __init__.py. > How about import b.d as d, etc? > Try import b; c = b.c Why would any of these make a difference? The AttributeError indicates that at the time d tries to grab the module in b's "c" attribute, the attribute does not exist (because it has not finished importing). Alternate syntaxes for getting the "c" attribute from b are not going to change that. Python does some magic so that you can do "import b.c" inside d while b.c is still importing without resulting in infinite recursion, but the success of the import does not signify that b.c is actually available yet.
