Josh Rosenberg added the comment:
Why is this unexpected? Per the docs, the process is:
find the module specified in the from clause, loading and initializing it
if necessary;
for each of the identifiers specified in the import clauses:
check if the imported module has an attribute by that name
*** if not, attempt to import a submodule with that name and then check the
imported module again for that attribute
if the attribute is not found, ImportError is raised.
otherwise, a reference to that value is stored in the local namespace,
using the name in the as clause if it is present, otherwise using the attribute
name
The *** is next to where it ends up in the tree; it found the l007 package,
determined it had no attribute named l009, determined it did have a module of
that name, and imported it. What were you expecting? For the record, it would
be nice if you'd used a name that didn't begin with a lowercase L; it makes it
look like the module is named entirely with digits (which would be illegal).
