cannot import name 'Sun' from partially initialized module 'suntime' (most likely due to a circular import) about suntime HOT 6 CLOSED

Thank you for helping.
I tried in 3.9.2 , without venv, then virtual will system packages, then a clean virtual, same issue.
I did also try on 3.7.3 running on the Rpi where it is supposed to be used, and it worked fine there.
So it's only hard to set it up in my pycharm/workstation where I will program.

I tried it on Python 3.9.6 with suntime 1.2.5 and didn't have any problems. You didn't provide any environment details, so I don't know if it could be a problem with it, but I can provide some advice, it could be helpful.

It is usually a good practice to use virtual environments, because they can provide better dependency handling, better project reproducibility, and better portability. Fortunately, venv is now standard in Python, so you should be up and running right away.

Here is the full journey, from zero to hero with the example from README.md (don't worry about the pip version warning though):

$ python3 -m venv test_venv
$ cd test_venv
$ source ./bin/activate
$ pip3 install suntime

As you can see, all the necessary things for this project to work are in the test_venv directory. Don't forget to source ./bin/activate and deactivate afterwards, but you can always read about it (and more) in the docs.

I'm getting the same issue on Python 3.10. Is there a compatibility issue?

same on 3.9.7 too.

If the name of your script is suntime.py, try renaming it to something else. This worked for me on Windows 10 with Python 3.9.5.

yep, that's most likely what caused this - I remember to have seen something similar long time ago.
Thank you.
