[New-bugs-announce] [issue27059] find_spec and find_loader ignore package/path argument

New submission from Gerrit Ansmann:

According to my understanding, the `package`/`path` argument of the `find_loader`/`find_spec` command should enable it to find modules in other directories than the current one. Instead, these arguments seem to be ignored and even changing the working directory from within Python (using os.chdir) does not yield the expected results with `find_spec`.

I append a script with several test cases that should succeed in my understanding, but some of which don’t.

Python version: 3.4.3.
OS: Ubuntu 14.04.4
