Simple case of ImportError when cyclic import happend

main.py

import a
import b
if __name__ == '__main__':
    print("Hello world")

a.py

from b import y
x = y

b.py

from a import x
y = 1

Command

$ python -V
Python 3.12.4
$ python main.py
raceback (most recent call last):
  File "<File Path>/main.py", line 1, in <module>
    import a
  File "<File Path>/a.py", line 1, in <module>
    from b import y
  File "<File Path>/b.py", line 1, in <module>
    from a import x
ImportError: cannot import name 'x' from partially initialized module 'a' (most likely due to a circular import) (<File Path>/a.py)

Note that the raising error message had the keyword 'initialized' that means the error happen on loading module, which not on assign the module name.
