[issue13977] importlib simplification

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon <brett at python.org> added the comment:

So I simply swapped out the code and the tests fail. Then I realized why: while the assumption is right, that does not mean that that name passed to __import__() isn't relative and thus shifts what need to be returned (the else clause case). That's why it's a slice off of __name__ based on name itself; name is some funky tail section of __name__ for relative imports.
