You have a back-dependency here: xxx.py uses something in prog.py.
If you are splitting things this way, you're doing something wrong
IMHO. The parts that you split off should really be self-contained
(that's what I assumed).

Why do you want to split up your source in this way??
If it is a prototype, why not just let it be one big chunk,
and think about proper modularization later when you write
the real thing?
