[Answer]-Django cannot import from app/models.py

Well you already know it is because of mutual dependencies. The way around it would be to split the util file in to two so, that you could avoid circular imports by separating the parts where you are required to call the models.

Also, as suggested by Mipadi instead of using a global import statement you could simply make the import in the method scope

Moreover, it would really depend how you are trying to use the models. For instance, you could access the models by “app_name.class_name” but really depends on the context in which you want to use.
