Revision 47 has a circular import:

   PyICU imports PyICU_bases
   PyICU_bases imports PyICU_iterators
   PyICU_iterators imports PyICU_bases

There's a similar problem with PyICU_locale.

I don't see an import order that will allow import to succeed. :(

This problem was not in the 0.3 release.

Removing the imports:

%import "iterators.i"
%import "locale.i"

from bases.i solves the problem, but I get failing tests:

Of course, the tests fail much sooner with the imports, as the PyICU import fails.

Any ideas?
