Yes. Does Python not allow this? What's the workaround? (Originally 
my two modules were one, with hhh containing subclasses of bak's
classes, and bak containing code to dynamically create instances
of hhh classes at run time, using:

   newInstance = eval(nameOfClass + '()')

but I wanted the code split up into two modules as it is logically 
separate.)
