pkgutil.walk_packages(paths) seems to return incorrect results when the name of a subpackage of a path in paths matches the name of a package in the standard library. It both excludes modules it should include, and includes modules it should exclude. Here is an example:
> mkdir temp
> touch temp/__init__.py
> touch temp/foo.py
> mkdir temp/logging
> touch temp/logging/__init__.py
> touch temp/logging/bar.py
> python

>>> from pkgutil import walk_packages
>>> for info in walk_packages(['temp']):
... print(info[1], info[0].path)
...

Observe that logging.bar is absent from the list, and logging.config and logging.handlers are included.
