[issue37089] `import Lib.os` works on windows (but shouldn't)

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

I doubt it's meant as a feature. I don't recall anything about it. I suspect it's got to do with limitations of the Windows installer (at the time). Maybe there are other things that are siblings of "Lib" that must be importable, e.g. DLLs?

I recommend taking this up with Steve Dower, who owns the Windows installers these days.
