      The built-in __import__ function (known as PyImport_ImportModuleEx
      in import.c) will then check to see whether the module doing the
!     import is a package by looking for a __path__ variable in the
!     current global namespace.  If it is indeed a package, it first tries
!     to do the import relative to the package.  For example if a package
!     named "spam" does "import eggs", it will first look for a module
!     named "spam.eggs".  If that fails, the import continues as an
      absolute import: it will look for a module named "eggs".  Dotted
      name imports work pretty much the same: if package "spam" does
!     "import eggs.bacon", first "spam.eggs.bacon" is tried, and only if
!     that fails "eggs.bacon" is tried.

      The built-in __import__ function (known as PyImport_ImportModuleEx
      in import.c) will then check to see whether the module doing the
!     import is a package or a submodule of a package.  If it is indeed a
!     (submodule of a) package, it first tries to do the import relative
!     to the package (the parent package for a submodule).  For example if
!     a package named "spam" does "import eggs", it will first look for a
!     module named "spam.eggs".  If that fails, the import continues as an
      absolute import: it will look for a module named "eggs".  Dotted
      name imports work pretty much the same: if package "spam" does
!     "import eggs.bacon" (and "spam.eggs" exists), "spam.eggs.bacon" is
!     tried and if that fails "eggs.bacon" is tried.  (There are more
!     subtleties that are not described here, but these are not relevant
!     for implementers if the Importer Protocol.)
