New submission from Jason R. Coombs <jar...@jaraco.com>:
I'm using Python 3.1.2 64-bit on Windows.
I've found that even if "absolute_import" is imported from __future__, 2to3
will convert imports to be treated as relative.
To demonstrate this behavior, I created a small package "abs_imp_test"
(attached).
abs_imp_test.__init__ is 0 bytes.
abs_imp_test.string is a one-line file.
foo = 'bar'
abs_imp_test.main contains 4 lines:
from __future__ import absolute_import
import string
assert not hasattr(string, 'foo'), 'fail'
print("success")
Put abs_imp_test package somewhere in the python path (just having it relative
to current directory works).
Note that the code is designed to be future-proof (using the future directive),
so will run under Python 2.6 and Python 3.1 without errors.
> python26\python -c "from abs_imp_test import main"
success
> python31\python -c "from abs_imp_test import main"
success
However, if I run 2to3 on main, it converts "import string" to "from . import
string" which changes the fundamental meaning of the import and breaks the test.
> 2to3 abs_import_test
...

AssertionError: fail
Is it possible that if the absolute_import future directive is present that the
imports not be modified for relativity?
