It looks to me like you have a circular import problem. Before the
etl.transfers package defines eastern it attempts to import
api.models, but executing the latter tries and fails to import (the as
yet undefined) eastern from etl.transfers. If this is the problem, you
could refactor the cyclic dependency into its own module, or move the
import to after eastern is defined, or do the import in
functions/methods that run after the modules have been loaded, etc.
