To make logic clear is very important. This problem appear, because the reference become a dead loop.

If you don't want to change the logic, you can put the some import statement which caused ImportError to the other position of file, for example the end.

a.py

from test.b import b2

def a1():
    print('a1')
    b2()

b.py

from test.a import a1

def b1():
    print('b1')
    a1()

def b2():
    print('b2')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    b1()

You will get Import Error: ImportError: cannot import name 'a1'

But if we change the position of from test.b import b2 in A like below:

a.py

def a1():
    print('a1')
    b2()

from test.b import b2

And the we can get what we want:

b1
a1
b2
