The following works today:
Python 3.6.3 (default, Oct 4 2017, 06:09:15)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.37)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os.path
>>> os
<module 'os' from
'/Users/pradyunsg/.venvwrap/venvs/pip/bin/../lib/python3.6/os.py'>
>>> os.path
<module 'posixpath' from
'/Users/pradyunsg/.venvwrap/venvs/pip/bin/../lib/python3.6/posixpath.py'>
I am not sure what you're asking for here.
