Inheriting from a class defined in an imported module in Python

I have two Python classes in two separate modules. The modules reference each other, so I must use the import XXX syntax rather than from XXX import YYY. I can't figure out how to access a class defiend in one module in the other, importing module though:

### testa.py

import testb

class TestA():
  ...

### testb.py

import testa

class TestB(testa.TestA):  # doesn't work
  ...

How do I do this?

You can solve this by putting import testb after the definition of TestA. However, you might need to rethink your module structure since circular imports are difficult to deal with.
