Python: what does “import” prefer - modules or packages?

Question

Suppose in the current directory there is a file named somecode.py, and a directory named somecode which contains an __init__.py file.

Answer 1

tested in Windows 10 (Python version 3.5) and on Ubuntu Linux (Python version 2.7 and 3.5) using the following directory:

https://github.com/alphaCTzo7G/stackexchange/tree/master/python/order_import_module_vs_package

Result

The module is always loaded and the following message is printed out every time:

"you have imported foo/init.py"

So it seems to be consistent across these Systems, that the package is loaded first.
