s/you most likely broke/2to3 most likely broke/

I admit I did not really checked what 2to3 created but I can assure you
I did not simply fired up an editor and had fun reverting some import
sequences.

I can not confirm that

   from cal_year import *

works at all.  It works in the unpatched Python2 version.

   git clone https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/cycle
   cd cycle
   echo "from cal_year import *" | python
   quilt push -a
   echo "from cal_year import *" | python3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/andreas/debian-maintain/salsa/med-team/cycle/cal_year.py", line 9, in <module>
    from dialogs import Note_Dlg
  File "/home/andreas/debian-maintain/salsa/med-team/cycle/dialogs.py", line 12, in <module>
    from cal_year import cycle, Val
ImportError: cannot import name 'cycle' from 'cal_year' (/home/andreas/debian-maintain/salsa/med-team/cycle/cal_year.py)


So may be I misinterpreted your hint but even reverting the reordering
of 2to3 in my latest commit does not help.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
