I have a circular dependency, how can I fix this?

LogClass

      # isinstance(error, ErrorClass)

ErrorClass

... import LogClass

    log = LogClass()

Are you actually getting an error? What is it? Which module do you import in your program to trigger it? — Mad Physicist, Jun 30 '18 at 06:12

The ErrorClass should not be aware of the log class, hence there shouldn't be an import in it. You can add a method to the LogClass:

def log_error(error):
    # isinstance(error, ErrorClass)
    log.error(...)  # if log is a python logger
