Why doesn't importing one stub file from another stub file work?

This is a simplified project structure:

aiojira/
aiojira/__init__.py
aiojira/resiliencesession.py
aiojira/__init__.pyi
aiojira/resiliencesesion.pyi

In aiojira/resiliencesession.pyi, I have the following:

import resiliencesession

However, both PyCharm and mypy (version 0.641) inform about an error in code. mypy output:

aiojira/__init__.pyi:1: error: Cannot find module named 'resilientsession'
aiojira/__init__.pyi:1: note: (Perhaps setting MYPYPATH or using the "--ignore-missing-imports" flag would help)

Type stubs are syntactically valid Python [...] files with a .pyi suffix.

(From https://typing.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/stubs.html#syntax, therefore, usual import statement rules apply.)

The only acceptable syntax for relative imports is from .[module] import name. All import forms not starting with . are interpreted as absolute imports.

(From https://docs.python.org/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html#removed-syntax)

Relative import should fix this problem.

Try:

from . import resilientsession
