This behavior is by design or just a bug for Python3.x ?
Definitely by design.
Have a look at PEP 328 - http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0328/
"In Python 2.4 and earlier, if you're reading a module located inside a
package, it is not clear whether
import foo
refers to a top-level module or to another module inside the package. As
Python's library expands, more and more existing package internal modules
suddenly shadow standard library modules by accident. It's a particularly
difficult problem inside packages because there's no way to specify which
module is meant. To resolve the ambiguity, it is proposed that foo will
always be a module or package reachable from sys.path. This is called an
absolute import."
