I'd say it is fine to use relative imports, so long as they are
explicit. (In Python 3, the default for an import is to be absolute, and
the *only* way to do a relative import is to make it explicitly
relative. So you may as well start doing so now.)

So I'd recommend this be done with an explicit relative import:

    from .common.common_bex import setup_foo_logging

or, better, import a module:

    from .common import common_bex

or a whole package:

    from . import common
