[issue2090] __import__ with fromlist=

[George Sakkis]

George Sakkis <george.sakkis at gmail.com> added the comment:

More fun findings: dots are special-cased too, but only if they don't appear consecutively (!);

~$ cat pkg/__init__.py
print  __name__

~$ python -c "__import__('pkg', fromlist=['.'])"
pkg
pkg..
~$ python -c "__import__('pkg', fromlist=['..'])"
pkg
~$ python -c "__import__('pkg', fromlist=['...'])"
pkg
~$ python -c "__import__('pkg', fromlist=['././//.'])"
pkg
pkg.././//.
~$ python -c "__import__('pkg', fromlist=['././../'])"
pkg
