Circular import error
FerzanGameflex opened this issue · 7 comments
Hi,
I'm getting the following error:
ImportError: cannot import name 'UnityDocument' from partially initialized module 'unityparser' (most likely due to a circular import) (/Users/ferzan/Cortex/lib/python3.9/site-packages/unityparser/init.py)`
pip install -U unityparser
Code is just:
from unityparser import UnityDocument
I cannot reproduce the error with those simple steps with the interactive terminal, even using python3.9.
Can you give a full example ?
Or try with a clean python environment with just this package installed ?
Package works great when I use interactive terminal but if I try to call it with
python myscript.py
It gives the circular import error.
myscript is simply this:
from unityparser import UnityDocument
doc = UnityDocument.load_yaml("yam.asset")
Weird thing is, after calling the script from python and getting the circular import error, interactive terminal also starts giving the circular import error when I call:
from unityparser import UnityDocument
I'm using MacOS with Python 3.9.5
I still could not reproduce the error(I have the exact same environment as yours).
Could provide the sample Yaml file you use and copy the full error stack trace ?
Sure, here's the full stack trace and related files.

Thanks ! I can reproduce the issue now, super strage behavior 👀
So the problem I believe is that your script file is named yaml.py and is messing up with the yaml(PyYAML) module name causing a wrong dependency cycle.
You should rename your python script file(and make sure to remove all pycache_ folders).

I wish there was a facepalm emoji here :) Thanks for looking into this. Closing the issue.
