I just tried importing a package with an empty __init__.py in
Python 3.8 and there was no problem:

% ls -l empty
total 0
-rw-r--r--  1 greg  staff  0 20 Sep 12:00 __init__.py
% python3
Python 3.8.2 (default, Mar 23 2020, 11:36:18)
[Clang 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.42)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import empty
 >>>

It looks more like the file in question wasn't completely empty,
but had a null character in it for some reason. I expect that if
you re-saved it as truly empty it would work. If not, you should
probably report it as a bug.
