Just to make sure that I understand this conflict, I guess the issue is
that Python 3 introduces a `types` module that somehow conflicts with our
module? I think we've discussed this before w.r.t other standard library
naming conflicts, but isn't this only a problem if you're trying to import
PySpark SQL's `types` module via a relative import rather than absolute one, or
if you place the `python/pyspark/sql` folder directly onto your PYTHONPATH? Is
this only a problem during tests?
