[issue25372] load_module() does not link submodule to parent package

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I'm no expert on pep 302 either, but I'm guessing this is an intentional part of the design.  You'll note that updating the namespace is *not* mentioned as one of the things load_module has to do.  The update of the namespace is something the import system as a whole implements, and I'm not sure where it happens (probably __import__/import_module).

Unless you are saying that this is a regression, it doesn't really matter if it was intentional or not, since if it is not a regression then it's been that way for a long time.
