That is by design. All import paths should be complete, absolute paths, and that is enforced as much as possible.
When somebody moves or copy a file to another directory structure, the program behaviour is preserved, even if by chance there is a similarly named package nearby. If "../serial" was allowed, the semantics would be "import any package called serial that happens to be found in a sibling directory". By using the full path you are stating "I want Basile Starynkevitch's serial package. Refuse imitations!"
