Python - loading module from directory

Why python load my module from directory, even if the directory shouldn't be treated as a package (doesn't contains __init__.py)? 

app
  main.py
  fake_module
    module.py

this works, even if fake_module doesn't contains __init__.py

import fake_module.module

If i would create regular fake_module with __init__.py and module.py file somewhere in sys.path, will be module.py loaded from this regular fake_module package?

I am using pycharm and python3.3

It looks like the __init__.py is optional as of Python 3.3. See also PEP420.
