ImportError: No module named ... in reload_plugin

[evandrocoan]

I am not sure if this is a bug, but seems a funny fact, I spend some time trying to figure it out why the package was not loading. Just happened when I renamed the file, but add an extra .py extension.

This other issue seems related:

1. Loading plugins from "Installed Packages" fails if a corresponding dir exists in "Packages" #55 Loading plugins from "Installed Packages" fails if a corresponding dir exists in "Packages"

Expected behavior

Correctly load the package names pack.py.py as:

reloading plugin Pack.pack.py.py

instead of:

reloading plugin Pack.pack.py
Traceback (most recent call last)
...

Actual behavior

reloading plugin Pack.pack.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\SublimeText\sublime_plugin.py", line 109, in reload_plugin
    m = importlib.import_module(modulename)

ImportError: No module named 'Pack.pack'

Steps to reproduce

1. Create the file pack.py.py on folder Pack at the Sublime Text Packages directory:

import sublime
import sublime_plugin

class IndentSelectWholeFirstLineEventListener(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
    """
        Sublime Text 3: Keep entire lines selected when indenting with tab
        https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24688117
    """

    def on_post_text_command(self, view, command_name, args):

        if command_name == 'indent':

            if all(not sel.empty() for sel in view.sel()):

                if all(view.line(sel.begin()) != view.line(sel.end()) for sel in view.sel()):
                    new_selections = []

                    for sel in view.sel():
                        new_selections.append(sel.cover(view.line(sel.begin())))

                    view.sel().clear()
                    view.sel().add_all(new_selections)

Now you will see on the console the error message.

This is really more of an issue that Python treats . as a module separator. If you try to add a . to a Python file and import it using the . in the module name for that filename, I believe it is going to do the same thing.

[FichteFoll]

I suggest a wontfix. Trying to work around this limitation of Python is just not feasible and the workaround is absolutely trivial: Just don't use dots in your file or module names.

I am not sure why I opened it. Let us KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid).
