Interactive mode doesnt launch when file named xml.py exists.

[cemde]

Issue Type: Bug

TL,DR: a file called xml.py blocks the start of interactive python.

I have a folder with two files in: file1.py and xml.py. Both have this content

# %%
import numpy as np
print(np.zeros((3,3)))
# %%

when I start to run the this cell interactively in either file, I get this error message

The kernel failed to start due to the missing module 'xml.dom'. Consider installing this module.

If I rename xml.py to something else, e.g. learnxmlparsing.py everything works fine.

This sounds like a built-in module being overridden, which means you just wouldn't be able to have a file with that name, but it looks like those are typically caused by importFailoures, wheras moduleNotFoundFailures have much less clear error messages.

seems to be fixed as part of #7538. Improved error message
