What about other packages in the stdlib? For example, you can see the same behavior in the email package: >>> import email >>> email.message.EmailMessage() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: module 'email' has no attribute 'message' IMO, this is how imports work in Python and IIRC os.path is the only exception in the stdlib. I think this needs to be discussed on python-ideas first.
