Since many times (most all times) packages will contain many sub-modules that need to be imported into the package's main.py module, and sometimes these modules will have the same name as a stdlib module, then looking in the package FIRST makes sense.

Alternatively if you choose to be a non-professional and create a math module without a containing package, python would throw the module into the default "lib" package. The only way you could access your math module now would be by using the path "lib.math".

OK, I think to develop a GUI with auto-code 
translations in an IDE  with python as the CAD/CAM scripting  language can be helpful.

But usually this kind of sotware projects is in the 
commercial part.
