I meant a module
You are correct that using periods in a module name conflicts with
periods in import statement syntax.
from src.directory import neal
that has nothing to do with periods being in a directory name. That
period in the source code separates a package name from a module name,
and will not find a package named "src.directory"
So one would have to *not* use import statement syntax, but use lower
level facilities, such as importlib or (untested)
neal = __import__('src.directory', <other args>)
Conclusion: putting periods in the name of module files (including
directories) except for .py- extensions, is generally a bad idea.
