Can you show a complete example of what doesn't work with one or more of
these?
Because if I have:
- empty package/__init__.py
- package/a.py consisting of only "from . import b"
- package/b.py consisting of only "from . import a"
- in the directory containing 'package', running python 3.5
interactively, executing:
>>> import package.a
everything seems to work.
