Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment: This is working as intended. Importers on sys.meta_path should be able to rely on the assumption that the names they are given are syntactically proper module names and not just any random string. You could perform a transform from module name to random string name in an importer or whatever to support some funky naming scheme under the hood. You could also walk sys.meta_path yourself to get around this sanity check, but I see no value in changing import itself to support this use case.
