I am working on a Python project structured with a src directory that includes various scripts and a forked library submodule. The project’s directory structure is as follows:

src/
├── script1.py
├── script2.py
└── doctr/
    ├── api
    ├── demo
    ├── docs
    ├── doctr/
    │   ├── contrib
    │   ├── datasets
    │   ├── file_utils.py
    │   ├── __init__.py
    │   ├── io
    │   ├── models
    │   ├── transforms
    │   ├── utils
    │   └── version.py

When trying to import modules from the nested doctr directory in the scripts like this:
from doctr.doctr.models import ocr_predictor, I am encountering circular import errors.

Here is the typical error message I receive:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘VOCABS’ from partially initialized module ‘doctr.datasets’ (most likely due to a circular import) (src/doctr/doctr/datasets/init.py)

What i have tried until now:

• created an init.py file under the root of the submodule, did not help
• changed the name of root directory file, no chance withh that as well
