"orange-canvas" command fails with import error in Orange 3

[Mario Abarca]

When attempting to run the "orange-canvas" command, I encountered an import error in Python that prevented me from running the app.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/bin/orange-canvas", line 5, in <module>
    from Orange.canvas.__main__ import main
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/Orange/__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
    from Orange import data
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/Orange/data/__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
    from .variable import *
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/Orange/data/variable.py", line 15, in <module>
    from Orange.data import _variable
ImportError: cannot import name '_variable' from partially initialized module 'Orange.data' (most likely due to a circular import) (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/Orange/data/__init__.py)

Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Package name: python3-orange3
Version: 3.35.0+ds1-5build2
Expected Behavior: The "orange-canvas" command should open the Orange canvas window or welcome screen as usual.
Actual Behavior: I received an ImportError when running the `orange-canvas` command, which prevented me from opening the Orange canvas window.
