False Positive: 'Attempted relative import beyond top-level package'

[cm107]

Steps to reproduce

1. Install the latest version of pylint (2.5.2)

pip install pylint==2.5.2

2. Create a simple package folder with a pair of scripts that use a relative import.

mkdir pkg_folder
cd pkg_folder
touch __init__.py
code test0.py test1.py

test0.py

class Test0:
    def __init__(self):
        pass

test1.py

from .test0 import Test0

class Test1:
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        pass

Notice that pylint is giving you an 'Attempted relative import beyond top-level package' error.

3. Verify that you are not going crazy: Install an older version of pylint that should work correctly.

pip install pylint==2.4.4

The error went away.
In other words, there's something wrong with version 2.5.2.

Current behavior

pylint is gives an 'Attempted relative import beyond top-level package' error when it is not warranted. This is a false positive.

Expected behavior

This error should not be shown.

pylint --version output

Hello, thank you for reporting this problem. When you report a bug please do not use screenshot as it's not searchable (not readable by screen readers and impossible to find with a web search), instead copy paste the text output :)
There is less chance that we'll have to handle duplicate issues that way.

Is this a duplicate of #3624 ?
