Can not import existing module into forms in Django

I'm getting a strange import error when trying to import a module "rememberMe" in view into forms.py though the module exists. (same import statement in shell works fine).

 from django import forms
 from models import UserAccount, SessionLog
 from django.shortcuts import *
 from view import rememberMe

 from view import loginUser
 class loginForm(forms.Form):
    username = forms.CharField(max_length=20, min_length=5, error_messages={'required':'Username is required'})
    password = forms.CharField(max_length=20, min_length=8, error_messages={'required':'Password is required'})
    rememberme = forms.BooleanField(required=False)

I get this error message:

ImportError at /
cannot import name rememberMe

view.py I have shortened the view.py here 

from django.shortcuts import *
from forms import loginForm, registerForm, verifyForm
from models import UserAccount, SessionLog
import datetime, string, random
from gatherify import settings
from django.core.mail import EmailMessage

def rememberMe(response, user, is_remember):


    randomHash = getRandomHash()

    if is_remember:
        response.set_cookie('kmliCookie', randomHash, settings.COOKIE_LIFETIME)
        expiry = datetime.date.today() + datetime.timedelta(seconds=settings.COOKIE_LIFETIME)
    else:
        response.set_cookie('kmliCookie', randomHash)
        expiry = datetime.date.today()

    session = SessionLog(secretKey=randomHash, member_id=user.id, date_expiry=expiry)
    session.save();

What am i doing wrong here?

You have a circular dependency: forms imports view, but view imports forms.

You haven't shown the rest of your forms file, but it is fairly unusual to import views there. Are you sure you need to?
