+                # use the project.path.parent directory as our path. This is
+                # usually not a problem, except if imports in other places are
+                # using the same names. Example:
+                #
+                # foo/                       < #1

+                #
+                # If the top foo is our project folder and somebody uses
+                # `from . import foo` in `setup.py`, it will resolve to foo #2,
+                # which means that the import for foo.foo is cached as
+                # `__init__.py` (#2) and not as `foo.py` (#3). This is usually
+                # not an issue, because this case is probably pretty rare, but
+                # might be an issue for some people.
+                #
+                # However for most normal cases where we work with different
+                # file names, this code path hits where we basically change the
