TL;DR module.__spec__.parent is read-only but module.__package__ is r/w despite documentation that implies that these two attributes should be identical, and various issues that focus on migrating from direct module attributes to ModuleSpec attributes. bpo-33277 and bpo-21762 Maybe we should relax the restriction on module.__spec__.parent so that it's writeable just like module.__package__.
