how is it that I'm running into circular imports so much?
Apparently it's something I didn't have to solve before now. I think what I end up doing is a little ugly, but also it feels like the right way?
example:
module `transport` has an `__init__.py` that defines base class `Transport`. It also has `TRANSPORTS` which is a list of all subclasses of `Transport`.
In the init, i'm importing FooTransport, BarTransport, etc. All of those also import the base class from init.
so I moved the subclass imports after the main class definition, and it solves the problem! except it's really, really weird
i could also move the superclass definition to a `common.py` or something, but that feels needless
