[issue45591] PathFinder does not find namespace packages children

You can still specify the full name of the module you're trying to import, but you also need to pass in the location information for that module. So the code does `fullname.rpartition(".")[-1]` to get the name of the module that you're looking for. So `PathFinder.find_spec('namespace.a', path=spec.submodule_search_locations)` should also work.
