[New-bugs-announce] [issue31840] `ImportError` is` raised` only when `python -m unittest discover` is given

[Hiroki “h2” Horiuchi]

New submission from Hiroki “h2” Horiuchi <x19290 at gmail.com>:

Create a package `pkg`. Put `test.py` there. Write `none = None` in `pkg/__init__.py`.
In the directory containing `pkg/`, `python [23] -m unittest pkg.test` will terminate normally, but `python [23] -m unittest discover pkg` will raise `ImportError`. The phenomenon is the same in macOS Sierra, Debian 9.0, Windows 7. I do not think this is a very kind behavior.
Thank you.
