Actually, I disagree.  The real problem here is the definition of
bar_func().  The default value of the parameter "arg" will likely always
be the default value of foo_opt, rather than the configured value,
because "CONF.foo_opt" will be evaluated at module load time.  The way
bar_func() should be defined would be:

        def bar_func(arg=None):
            if not arg:
                arg = CONF.foo_opt
            …

That ensures that arg will be the configured value, and should also
solve the import conflict.
