[issue18018] SystemError: Parent module '' not loaded, cannot perform relative import

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

For the specific case given, both error messages are misleading anyway - the problem is attempting to directly execute a module inside a package instead of using "-m".

However, for the case of attempting a relative import from a top level module, the old message is indeed preferable.
