I’m working on a medium-sized Python project, and I’ve run into an issue with circular imports. I have a couple of modules that depend on each other, which causes an import error when I try to run the code.

What are some strategies to avoid circular imports in Python? Is it a good practice to refactor the code into a different structure, or are there other solutions I should consider, like using importlib or lazy loading?
