Why 'import module' will not import module.py but the directorymodule?

P

Peng Yu

If I have both the directory 'module' and the file 'module.py' in a
directory in $PYTHONPATH, python will import 'module' rather than
'module.py'. I'm wondering what is the design rationale of setting
higher priorities to directories. Is there a way to reverse the
priority?
