I think you mean "assumes doctest is imported in zope.testing's
__init__.py".

There's no difference between modules or packages for the import
statement, witness

    mg at platonas:~ $ cd tmp
    mg at platonas:~/tmp $ mkdir a
    mg at platonas:~/tmp $ touch a/__init__.py
    mg at platonas:~/tmp $ mkdir a/b
    mg at platonas:~/tmp $ touch a/b/__init__.py
    mg at platonas:~/tmp $ touch a/c.py
    mg at platonas:~/tmp $ python
    Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec  7 2009, 18:45:15) 
    [GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import a
    >>> a.b
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'b'
    >>> a.c
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'c'
    >>>
