New submission from Dustin J. Mitchell:
Reproduction:
# main.py
import foo.bar
# foo/__init__.py
# (empty)
# foo/bar/__init__.py
import foo.bar.bing as bing
# foo/bar/bing.py
# (empty)
Result:
dustin at euclid ~/tmp $ python3.3 main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 1, in <module>
import foo.bar
File "/home/dustin/tmp/foo/bar/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
import foo.bar.bing as bing
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'bar'
dustin at euclid ~/tmp $ python2.7 main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 1, in <module>
import foo.bar
File "/home/dustin/tmp/foo/bar/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
import foo.bar.bing as bing
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'bar'
If you remove the `as bing` from `foo/bar/__init__.py`, all is well. Similarly, `from foo.bar import bing` works fine, as does `from foo.bar import bing as bing`.
I don't see anything in https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#import that suggests this is expected behavior.
