ImportError: cannot import name 'deform_conv_cuda' from partially initialized module 'thirdparty.deform_conv'

ImportError: cannot import name 'deform_conv_cuda' from partially initialized module 'thirdparty.deform_conv' (most likely due to a circular import) (/home/research/DCPOSE/DCPose/thirdparty/deform_conv/init.py)

from .. import deform_conv_cuda in deform_conv.py causing the problem. Does anyone know the reason?

I have met the same error and I solve it by installing

cd thirdparty/deform_conv/
python setup.py build_ext --inplace -v

Then, I met other errors in installing because I do not follow pytorch and cuda version what the page recommanded. I solve the error one by one by modifying code in the folders.
