Use importlib to avoid module name clashes for pytest - #203

This is very useful! Any chances to get this merged?

Moscow Python Beer Meetup report rules!

This would be very helpful

This is an amazing feature!

I've made additional checks to prove these changes actually work with pytest.
As expected, it requires only adding "importlib" to --import-mode choices.

What is your opinion on this?

this is a nice solution we can use as a temporary opt in, but im under the impression we are missing a deeper detail

however i don't have time in the near future to work deeply enough into the related topic to make a good case for those details

as such i believe a good way forward is to get this in, have it as opt-in in pytest an sort out the more detailed issues after the port to pathlib is complete

We just need a CHANGELOG entry so we can merge this in. 👍

Let's wait a day or two to get #207 and #215 in the next release as well. 👍

🎉
Thank you all!

Thanks again @neumond for the great PR!

@neumond
Do you plan adding creating a PR to add this to pytest (choices/help, doc)?
(just stumbled across via py's docstring)

btw: would it still possible to support relative imports? (ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package)

Created pytest-dev/pytest#5352.
