Python files - import from each other

Question

I would like for two of my python files to import some methods from each other. This seems to be giving me import errors.

Example:

file_A.py:

from file_B import do_B_stuff

file_B.py:

from file_A import do_A_stuff

The reason I am trying to do this is because I would like to organize my project in the way it intuitively makes sense to me as opposed to organizing it with respect to what makes sense to the compiler.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Don't use the names within the other module directly.

file_A.py

import file_B

def something():
    file_B.do_B_stuff

file_B.py

import file_A

def something():
    file_A.do_A_stuff
