Circular import?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I keep getting "ImportError: cannot import name Site" if I try to use sites
framework from any commandline script which imports models module, where I
have some module-level settings defined. The traceback looks like there is
some circular import of sites framework.

NB., importing this models module (or any of its models directly) from
within Django application works fine.

Importing dbsettings before trying to import sites framework seems to be the 
quick
remedy, but I cann't recomment this as "solution to problem".
