import Python module when there is sibling file with the same name -

suppose have following files

tata/foo.py tata/yoyo.py  foo/__init__.py foo/bar.py 

in file foo.py do

import foo.bar 

i run pythonpath=. python tata/yoyo.py , get

traceback (most recent call last):   file "tata/yoyo.py", line 1, in <module>     import foo.bar importerror: no module named bar 

issue disappears when delete tata/foo.py. please suggest way resolve situation when have global module name , local file name coincides.
