[issue16570] Absolute imports fail to take full path into account?

[Dirkjan Ochtman]

Dirkjan Ochtman added the comment:

It's not nonsensical. Something exactly like it came up while I was looking into porting couchdb-python to Python 3. couchdb-python has had a couchdb.http module for a while now; it didn't start clashing with the stdlib until Python 3. Also, I don't understand why Python is trying to import any "bare" http, when all the imports are absolute.
