Historical context is in the standalone tracker:

https://gitlab.com/python-devs/importlib_resources/issues/58

Clearly, with the current definition of the API, open_resource() should not allow slashes.  Please follow up on the above link if you have opinions about changing the behavior.  We would have an opportunity to relax that constraint in Python 3.8, if it’s something we want to do.
