As Serhiy notes, this isn't a bug in the import name resolution, it's a consequence of the wildcard import in bugtest's __init__.py replacing its own "bug.foo" submodule attribute with a reference to "bug.foo.foo". If the star imports can't be avoided, then a potential workaround is to restore "bugtest.foo" from sys.modules: foo = sys.modules[__name__ + ".foo"]
