As first step, I just moved the code from model/__init__.py to a new
model/base.py. I'll send it later.
Doesn't solve the recursive import by itself though...

Btw, found the reason why I didn't see the backtrace: was still using
pytest 2.9.2, switching to pytest 3.+ did the trick. Three cheers for
pytest 3!
