Transcrypt not able to translate addict.py correctly : Creates circular dependency

[sandeep-gh]

Transcrypt runs without error and produces output when ran over addict.py (a library on top of Dict, that uses some python dunder function hooks to make dictionary operations via class/object access patterns). I am using this https://github.com/sandeep-gh/addict fork.

Transcrypt compiles addict and reports no error. However, the generated javascript has no code corresponding to addict functions and it seems to have created a recursive definition which breaks rollup bundler (see Circular Dependency) Attached below is the relevant snippet of the generate addict.js.

'use strict';
import {
...
...
...
} from "./org.transcrypt.__runtime__.js";
import {
    Dict as Addict
} from "./addict.js";
import {
    Dict,
    walker
} from "./addict.js";
export {
    walker,
    Dict,
    Addict
};
....

The import line seems to be creating a circular dependency since within addict.js we are saying import Dict from addict.js. Are libraries like addict.py not transcryptable? Any high level idea how to debug/fix would be great.

I created a module to test this and to get around some namespace confusion, I changed the import in my test from

from addict import Dict

to

from addict.addict import Dict

and bypassed the addict/__init__.py module. And while this got around one problem, Transcrypt wouldn't process the library anyway:

$ transcrypt --nomin --verbose addict_test.py

Error while compiling (offending file last):
    File 'addict_test.py', line 1, at import of:
    File 'addict.addict', line 35, namely:

    Built in function 'super' with arguments not supported

Aborted

It appears that the addict library has a few lines of Python code that Transcrypt is unable to process in its current form.
