name 'Start()' not defined - python-2.7

Question

I have two files in a game I am currently making (not finished). They are the same directory. When I run either of the two files, the terminal in macos Serria is giving me this error (and yes, I did research, to no avail). BTW, thank you, StackOverFlow, for answering (and downvoting when needed) questions. It truly helped me.:

Looks like you have a circular dependency: in story you import * (everything) from engine and vice versa. This is not supported in Python.
