ImportError: cannot import name 'function' code example

Example 1: importerror: cannot import name

# While you should definitely avoid circular dependencies,
# you can defer imports in python.
# for example:

import SomeModule

def someFunction(arg):
    from some.dependency import DependentClass
    
#this ( at least in some instances ) will circumvent the error.

Example 2: importerror: cannot import name

You have circular dependent imports. physics.py is imported from entity before class Ent is defined and physics tries to import entity that is already initializing. Remove the dependency to physics from entity module.

Example 3: importerror: cannot import name

from django.conf.urls import include

Example 4: importerror: cannot import name

Search your entire project/solution (generally ctrl-shift-f) for 'flask' or whatever the name import error is.
You may have it being imported twice and just need to remove one.
