[issue40171] Attempting to import inaccessible package imports an empty package

[Konrad Borowski]

New submission from Konrad Borowski <konrad at borowski.pw>:

The attached shell program returns `AttributeError: module 'mod' has no attribute 'x'`. I would rather expect `ImportError` instead of loading an empty package due to permission error causing Python module to be inaccessible.
