[issue27515] Dotted name re-import does not rebind after deletion

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

I don't think this is a bug. You're paraphrasing step 2 incorrectly. The local name-binding behavior just creates a local named "email" -- it doesn't concern itself with ensuring that the email package has an attribute "charset". That attribute is set as a side effect of *loading* the charset submodule, not as a side effect of every import statement.
