Duplicate module names causes Module has no attribute

[plannigan]

This is a bug report. There was a regression recently that caused mypy to start raising error where it did not in the past.

Example:
Save the following code at pathlib.py.

import pathlib

p = pathlib.Path(".")
print(p)

With the latest mypy, this fails.

$ mypy --version
mypy 0.761
$ mypy pathlib.py 
pathlib.py:3: error: Module has no attribute "Path"
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)

However, it used to work:

$ mypy --version
mypy 0.720
$ mypy pathlib.py 
$ 

Note: This code won't run, but I was having trouble making a simple example to reproduce the issue I was seeing. The actually case where this happened does work and was a sub-module within a project that was named the same as a 3rd part module it was wrapping.

This appears to have been fixed at some point. The latest version of mypy no longer emits an error for the code sample.

It actually does still repro for me (the repro depends on the name of the file). But this behaviour is desirable.
