+Subject: [PATCH] python3: Ensure stale empty python module directories don't
+
+There are two issues here. Firstly, the modules are accessed in on disk order. This
+means behaviour seen on one system might not reproduce on another and is a real headache.
+
+Secondly, empty directories left behind by previous modules might be looked at. This
+has caused a long string of different issues for us.
+
+As a result, patch this to a behaviour which works for us.
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/120492; need to first talk to upstream to see if they'll take one or both fixes]
+Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
