<overview>
|
|
<p> There is no need for a module to import itself. A module importing itself may lead to errors as
|
|
the module may be in an incomplete state when imported by itself.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
</overview>
|
|
<recommendation>
|
|
<p>Remove the import statement.
|
|
Convert all expressions of the form <code>mod.name</code> where "mod" is the name
|
|
of the current module to <code>name</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
</recommendation>
|
|
<example>
|
|
<p>In this example the module, <code>ModuleImportsItself</code> imports itself and has an expression
|
|
referencing the module it is in as well.</p>
|
|
<sample src="ModuleImportsItself.py" />
|
|
|
|
<p>The import can be removed and the reference can be corrected.</p>
|
|
<sample src="ModuleImportsItselfFix.py" />
