Import module that contains main module functions

Suppose I have this folder structure:

  module
      module.py
      __init__.py
  main.py

Main.py imports module.py which itself should have functions that are only present in main.py. For example, main.py code:

  from module import *

  def foo(var):
      print var

  module.foo_module()

Content of module.py:

   def foo_module():
       foo("Hello world!")

Is there anyway I can achieve this without repeating the functions? If not, how can I import main.py into module.py?

Many thanks

Everything is an object in python, including functions. You can pass the necessary function as an argument. Whether this makes sense in your case, I don't have enough information to know.

def foo(var):
    print var

module.foo_module(foo)

def foo_module(foo):
    foo("Hello world!")

Avoid circular imports. You could do that here by placing foo in module.

If you don't want foo in module, you could instead create a separate module bar to hold foo, and import bar in both main and module.
