[issue26216] run runtktests.py error when test tkinter

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

This is rather import machinery issue. The simple reproducer:

$ ./python -c "import importlib; importlib.import_module('.bar', 'foo')"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/serhiy/py/cpython/Lib/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module
    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 981, in _gcd_import
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 931, in _sanity_check
SystemError: Parent module 'foo' not loaded, cannot perform relative import

SystemError means programming error and shouldn't be triggered by user code.
