If you want a justification, think of it as undefined behavior. When you use an empty string in fromlist you are essentially simulating ``from pkg import`` which makes absolutely no sense, so no one has cared enough to try to fix this. It's such a hack that I don't think people need to worry about fixing it, especially with a more sanctioned way to do it and with importlib being available in PyPI and running in Python 2.3 and later.
Now if someone bothers to submit a patch to fix the issue that is reasonable then it can be considered for fixing, but I view this as such a nonsensical call signature that I personally don't see the need to have someone burn some time on this unless they really care. As a compromise I have made this a "wont fix" bug, but I still don't see the need to open the bug again. |
