Eu estou tentando criar meu próprio manipulador de log para log para modelos de db, que estende logging.Handler

import logging
from logging import Handler
from logger.models import SearchLog

class DBHandler(Handler,object):
    model = None
    def __init__(self, model):
        super(DBHandler, self).__init__()
        mod = __import__(model)
        components = name.split('.')
        for comp in components[1:]:
            mod = getattr(mod, comp)
        self.model = mod

    def emit(self,record):
        log_entry = self.model(level=record.levelname, message=record.msg)
        log_entry.save()

e esta é a configuração do log:

'db_search_log':{
    'level': 'INFO',
    'class': 'db_logger.handlers.DBHandler',
    'model': 'db_logger.models.SearchLog',
    'formatter': 'verbose',
     }

no entanto estou recebendo o seguinte erro, veja stacktrace:

Graças a @istruble apontou que isso é devido a importações circulares de configurações, como posso evitá-lo e ainda logar aos modelos de banco de dados?
