abraithwaite added the comment: Interesting. I saw the same behavior on 2.7.7 as well: $ python2 Python 2.7.7 (default, Jun 3 2014, 01:46:20) [GCC 4.9.0 20140521 (prerelease)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
from pkg import foobar foobar <module 'pkg.foobar' from 'pkg/foobar.py'>
