TypeError when module under test or function under test is named 'test'

I encountered an issue (during test collection) where I get a type error when the test function is named test. The error occurs on Linux and Windows. Here's a simple example to reproduce:

jaraco@shinobi:~/projects/foo$ ls -R
.:
mymod  test

./mymod:
__init__.py  __init__.pyc  test.py  test.pyc

./test:
test.py  test.pyc
jaraco@shinobi:~/projects/foo$ cat mymod/test.py
class test(object): pass
jaraco@shinobi:~/projects/foo$ cat test/test.py
from mymod.test import test
jaraco@shinobi:~/projects/foo$ PYTHONPATH=. py.test test/test.py
