Not really. That will look *first* in the current package, but then will
go merrily down sys.path looking for any other mymodule it can find.

When you say:
      from mypackage import mymodule
python will look for mymodule *exclusively* in mypackage.
I want to do the same thing for the (unspecified) current package.
