[issue18145] Strange behavior when importing internal modules in the __init__.py of a submodule

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon added the comment:

It can't. The AttributeError is in the executing module code, not import itself so there is no reasonable way to tell that the failure was because of a circular loop in the import and not simply because you tried to get at an attribute that doesn't exist for some other reason.
