... which doesn't work, of course. On the other hand, http.py is not in a package, it works correctly. If test/http.py is moved to test/blah.py instead, it also works correctly. 2to3 should be able to conclude that the "httplib" it was before did not refer to .http, but refered to http.client.

[loewis]

Just in case it isn't clear: this is because of the order of fixes. The first fixer replaces httplib with http.client, then the next fixer thinks this is a relative import.

And this has been fixed in the lastest versions of 2to3.
