New submission from Franck Michea:
Hi, for those of you that prefer to read an example, you can read that
commented demonstration of the bug[1].
Today I discovered what I think is a bug in the import system. Here is the
basic setup:
We have three nested packages: foo -> bar -> baz. The bar package imports
foo.bar.baz. We try to import foo.bar. This works well unless we try to alias
the foo.bar.baz import in foo.bar with the "import ... as ..." syntax. In that
case the file will be read and executed but when we get out of the import
statement, then python throws:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "foo_alias_mod/bar/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
import foo_alias_mod.bar.baz as name_does_not_matter
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'bar'
This works whether baz is a package or a module actually. It does not matter if
it's from the interpreter, or in a file, ... I've seen it trigger with 2.7.5,
2.7.9, 3.4.5, tip, so I guess this has been here for some time.
Please read the link below for a complete demo, and you can always download the
tarball[2] to test yourself.
