If you have learned the bad habit from Java of putting every class in a 
separate file, you should unlearn that habit for your Python code. There 
is no need to put every class in a separate file, and it usually leads 
to complicated dependencies and circular imports.

"pyx" file extension? Surely not?

There are ways to safely handle circular dependencies in Python:

   file 1 needs to load file 2;

   but file 2 needs to load file 1

but they are annoying, fragile and best left for people with experience, 
not for beginners. The better solution is to put the two classes in the 
one file, and that way there is no import dependency.
