How can I avoid (most likely due to a circular import) Error

MAX001

I have two files main.py and frame_functions.py. As I understand it, the error appears due to from main import window in second file, but for each frame I want to change the window title. How can I better import the window and avoid the error?
main.py

import sys
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel, QPushButton, QVBoxLayout, QWidget, QFileDialog, QGridLayout
from PyQt6.QtGui import QPixmap
from PyQt6 import QtGui, QtCore, sip
from PyQt6.QtGui import QCursor
from frame_functions import frame1, frame2, grid


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = QWidget()
    icon = QIcon()
    icon.addFile(u"Icons/Icon.png", QSize(), QIcon.Normal, QIcon.Off)
    window.setWindowIcon(icon)
    window.resize(1200, 900)
    window.setStyleSheet("background: #FFFFFF;")

    frame1()

    window.setLayout(grid)

    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())

frames_functions.py

import sys
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel, QPushButton, QVBoxLayout, QWidget, QFileDialog, QGridLayout
from PyQt6.QtGui import QPixmap
from PyQt6 import QtGui, QtCore, sip
from PyQt6.QtGui import QCursor
from main import window

def frame1():
    window.setWindowTitle("Project")
def frame2():
    window.setWindowTitle("Detection Algorithms")

Hi,

Well, the best way is to change your architecture. You are off to a really bad start doing it that way.

If you really want these functions in a different file, pass the "window" object as parameter of the function rather than trying to access objects created dynamically in different file through an import.
