bpo-17393: do not convert import of non-package by romuald · Pull Request #16826 · python/cpython (original) (raw)
In lib2to3, when a patched code is importing a module that has the same
name as a local directory, check that it contains an __init__.py file
before converting it to a local import
Quick example:
fixtures/__init__.py
fixtures/json/things.json
Previously import json was converted to from . import json
