[issue46935] import of submodule polutes global namespace

[Max Bachmann]

Max Bachmann <kontakt at maxbachmann.de> added the comment:

It appears this only occurs when a C Extension is involved. When the so is imported first it is preferred over the .py file that the user would like to import. I could not find any documentation on this behavior, so I assume that this is not the intended.

My current workaround is the usage of a unique name for the C Extension and the importing everything from a Python file with the corresponding name.
