[Jython-bugs] [issue1423] Unexpected behaviour is case of circular imports

[Andrey S. <re...@bu...>]

New submission from Andrey Sukhanov <and...@gm...>:

In case of circular imports Python shows "ImportError: cannot import
name <>" error and a stack trace, but Jython fails with "RuntimeError:
maximum recursion depth exceeded".

Use case description.
1. I have a package.
2. There are two modules in the package.
3. First one does "from . import <second module>"
4. Second one does "from . import <first module>"

See an example in the attached file. Try to run "main.py".
