Chris Angelico added the comment: If someone made a new way of importing and had it raise ValueError on some issue or other, I think there'd be complete consensus that that's the wrong exception. Yes, this is incompatible with Python 2 - but there are a lot of corner cases in the 3.3+ import c

Brett Cannon added the comment: The problem is in Python/import.c: https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/default/Python/import.c#l1453 . While the Python code has a check that `package` is a truthy value, the accelerated C code doesn't. Adding a check that the string isn't empty or truthy should

Antoine Pitrou added the comment: User code should generally not see any SystemErrors (even when choosing wacky module names :-)), so IMHO this is a regression. -- nosy: +pitrou ___ Python tracker

Brett Cannon added the comment: The line raising the exception is http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/f7992397e98d/Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py#l1518 . If you're sure it's a regression feel free to change what exception is raised. -- assignee: -> flox __

Nick Coghlan added the comment: For the specific case given, both error messages are misleading anyway - the problem is attempting to directly execute a module inside a package instead of using "-m". However, for the case of attempting a relative import from a top level module, the old messag
