Richard Cooper <anon at server15.ukservers.net>:

When a module is imported, its import search path includes everything it does now PLUS the directory that is the top of the module's enclosing package structure.

I don't see how that changes anything, since in order to get imported in the first place, the module's top-level package has to already be on the module search path somehow.
