I cannot reproduce this locally, even when first installing the keyboard package on PyPI and importing that.

Also, the "to reproduce" bits are not how to reproduce your issue, you're clearly doing something else than "import pyobjc" as the latter will raise ImportError due to not find "pyobjc".

I'm closing this issue because I cannot reproduce locally. I'll reopen if you have a clear reproducer.

I am having the same issue when trying to import NSSound from AppKit:

from AppKit import NSSound

ImportError: cannot import name '_objc' from partially initialized module 'objc' (most likely due to a circular import)

Import succeeds on a fresh virtual environment for a few times.
Then it breaks and the only fix seems to be to reinstall the environment.

Platform:
Python version - 3.11
macOS version - 12.1
