 The `startproject` command currently depends on calling
 `importlib.import_module()` on the intended new project name, which will
 execute a python module if it happens to find one.

 It would be more performant and less intrusive to check the return value
 of `importlib.util.find_spec`
 
[https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.html?highlight=find_spec#importlib.util.find_spec
 (docs)], which avoids importing anything (so long as the path doesn't
 include a dot, but that can be checked for first.)

 Happy to submit a PR if welcome.
