Python - Importing a global/site-packages module rather than the file of the same name in the local directory
Since my test_utils was in a django project, I was able to go from ..test_utils import ... to import the global one.
I'm using python and virtualenv/pip. I have a module installed via pip called test_utils (it's django-test-utils). Inside one of my django apps, I want to import that module. However I also have another file test_utils.py in the same directory. If I go import test_utils, then it will import this local file.
Is it possible to make python use a non-local / non-relative / global import? I suppose I can just rename my test_utils.py, but I'm curious.
