Steps to reproduce

Given multiple files:

mypkg/
    formatter/
        __init__.py
    other/
        __init__.py
    __init__.py

Where:

"""mypkg/formatter/__init__.py"""

def fmtr():
    """fmtr()"""

"""mypkg/other/__init__.py"""

from ..formatter import fmtr

"""mypkg/__init__.py"""

from . import formatter
from .formatter import fmtr

Current behavior

Result of pylint mypkg:

************* Module mypkg
mypkg/__init__.py:4:0: W0402: Uses of a deprecated module 'formatter' (deprecated-module)
************* Module mypkg.other
mypkg/other/__init__.py:3:0: W0402: Uses of a deprecated module 'formatter' (deprecated-module)

Expected behavior

No deprecated-module diagnostics.

@matusvalo do you have an idea how to fix this ? Can we use the absolute name to do the check ?

[matusvalo]

I suppose that yes. I will investigate.
