[issue39637] Probably incorrect message after failed import

[Rick van Rein]

New submission from Rick van Rein <rick at openfortress.nl>:

The following error message surprises me:

>>> import os.environ
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'os.environ'; 'os' is not a package

Shouldn't that say that "'environ' is not a package" instead?

After all, 'os' will support

>>> import os.path
>>> 

This is confusing :)
