I'm porting a project to Py3k wich contains a "commands.py" script on
the project's module. 

Inside "a.py" there is an "import commands" statement:

/mymodule/commands.py
/mymodule/a.py

The 2to3 tool replaces the "import commands" and all the "commands"
ocurrences with the word "subprocess".

Is is possible to adapt the fix_imports fixer to detect a local import,
like the fix_import fixer (probably_a_local_import)?

What version of 2to3 are you using?

The one included on Python 3.1-rc2.

Oh, I see the problem. mymodule/ isn't a package. If it has __init__.py,
this should work.

Sorry. Yes, there is an "__init__.py" script on the same level as the
"commands.py". I forgot to mention it.

/mymodule/commands.py
/mymodule/a.py
/mymodule/__init__.py

This is the real repository:

Thanks for the bug report! Fixed in r73771. Now when I run it on
mercurial/dispatch.py I get:

Much better. :)

I'm glad to see someone is working on porting mercurial. You might want
to use the 2to3 development version, since it's always up to date wiht
bug fixes. [1] If you need any help, feel free to email the
python-porting list.

Thanks!
