Hi,

I am new to Python, so this question that is probably blindingly obvious to you all. If I have 2 classes that references each other (a circular reference of some sort) and both class are defined in the single file in the order shown. class Resume(db.Model): filedata = db.BlobProperty() candidate = db.ReferenceProperty(Candidate) class Candidate(db.Model): firstname = db.StringProperty() lastname = db.StringProperty() latestresume = db.ReferenceProperty(Resume) the Resume class does not know about the Candidate class as this module is imported, so it throws a error. Is there any way to get around this problem? Jamesz:

This list (python-dev) is for the development of Python, not development with Python. If you ask your question on comp.lang.python (python-list at python.org) you will almost certainly receive an answer.
