Circular Import error when loading packages in notebook 02_single_site_comparison.ipynb

[danielletijerina]

When initially loading packages (first cell) in the notebook 02_single_site_comparison.ipynb, I recieved the following error about circular import:

ImportError 
Traceback (most recent call last) Cell In[2], line 12 
10 # Import the Evaluation library from the project root. 
11 sys.path.append(str((Path.cwd().absolute() / "../../../src").resolve())) 
---> 12 from cssi_evaluation.snow import utils 
14 # import notebook-specific utilities 
15 from utils import nwm_utils File ~/Documents/cuahsi_projects/cssi_evaluation/src/cssi_evaluation/snow/__init__.py:3 
1 """Initialization module for the cssi_evaluation.snow package.""" 
----> 3 from . import evaluation_metrics, utils, plots 
5 __all__ = [ 
6 "evaluation_metrics", 
7 "utils", 
8 "plots", 
9 ] 
ImportError: cannot import name 'evaluation_metrics' from partially initialized module 'cssi_evaluation.snow' 
(most likely due to a circular import) (/cssi_evaluation/src/cssi_evaluation/snow/__init__.py)

I commented out everything except the first line in /cssi_evaluation/src/cssi_evaluation/snow/__init__.py and the packages loaded correctly and the notebook ran successfully.
