>>> import importlib.util
>>> importlib.util.resolve_name(".submodule", None)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/proj/python/cpython/Lib/importlib/util.py", line 26, in resolve_name
    '(no leading dot)'.format(name))
ValueError: '.submodule' is not a relative name (no leading dot)

This message sounds like nonsense. Perhaps the it should say something like:

    '.submodule' should be an absolute name (no leading dot)

or:

    relative import of '.submodule' not allowed outside of a package
