Environment data

VS Code version: 1.16.0
Python Extension version: 0.7.0
Python Version: 2.7.12
OS and version: MacOS Sierra 10.12.6

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a directory with two packages foo and test
• Inside foo create a file bar.py
• Inside the test directory create another package foo
• Inside test/foo create a file gaz.py

So the directory structure is like:

foo
|--> __init__.py
|--> bar.py
test
|-->__init__.py
|--> foo
     |--> __init__.py
     |--> gaz.py

Open a new file in test/foo directory. Say test/foo/run.py

Add the following code:

from __future__ import absolute_import

Start typing import foo.

Actual behavior

The only autocomplete option shown is gaz

Expected behavior

Expected bar to be shown in the dropdown. Especially when absolute import is being used.
In fact import foo.gaz is probably incorrect since it is not a valid relative import either.
