[issue42535] unittest.patch confuses modules with base modules
New submission from Tymek Wołodźko :
Nonetheless having several attempts, I wasn't able to create reproducible
example for this bug, but I will try describing it in detail.
I have a package with multiple modules. One of the paths is like
`mymodule.nestedmodule.io`, among other functions, this module contains
functions `foo()` and `bar()`, where `bar()` does call `foo()`. The module
*does not* import base python's `io` module. I have a unit test that patches:
with path('mymodule.nestedmodule.io.foo'):
bar()
The problem is, when running the test I get the following error:
`AttributeError: does not
have the attribute 'foo'`. The problem is solved when I rename `io` to `myio`
and correct all the paths to use the new name.

[issue38490] statistics: add covariance and Pearson's correlation
Tymek Wołodźko added the comment: I expanded my PR to add simple linear regression. I also created documentation for the new functionalities. As about covariance, we can simply not expose it to the users, but I'm not convinced that there is any gain in keeping it hidden from the users.

[issue38490] statistics: add covariance and Pearson's correlation
Tymek Wołodźko added the comment: In case there is agreement with Steven, I will add simple linear regression ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_linear_regression ) in the same PR, since it is just: slope = correlation(x, y) * ( stdev(y) / stdev(x) ) intercept = mean(y) - slope * mean(x) As about covariance, I see your points, but why not keeping it "because we can"? It can be useful for some users and the functionality still needs to be implemented to have correlation coefficient.

[issue38490] statistics: add covariance and Pearson's correlation
Tymek Wołodźko added the comment: I think I see your point, that the module is intended for the most basic features, but I would argue that correlation is one of such "most basic" statistics. Correlation and covariance can be thought as equivalents for standard deviation and variance, but when we are talking about pairs of variables. Moreover it is probably used much more often then things like geometric or harmonic mean, that are implemented in the package. Covariance is probably more esoteric for most non-statisticians, but in my PR ( https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/16813 ) I implemented it for completeness and as a helper function for the correlation coefficient. TL;DR those are basic statistics. They would make the module much more helpful, since the basic statistics could be calculated using base python w/o external libraries. They are also trivial to implemented (done this in PR) and do not need much more maintenance then the other functionalities in the module.
