If you really really really, ...really... dive deep down into the implementation of the Python module loading system you might get the impression this might be --intentional-- as the smart code mechanisms that allow the really clever introspection stuff to run, mock patching etc. wouldn't work methinks.
But... it should at least say something to you about using reserved names for your own stuff maybe something like a 'strict' mode or -Wall sort of thing.
Tread carefully! LMAO
