[issue16846] relative import solution

[Georg Brandl]

Georg Brandl added the comment:

David, the "issue" is that Python only allows relative imports within packages.  The OP wants to have a.py and b.py in the same directory and then be able to said "from . import b" in the a module.

This is a design decision and will not change without a PEP.
