Scripting system fails for CLI-based scripts when a package named scripts is installed

[antazoey]

Environment information

• OS: macOS
• Python Version: 3.10
• ape and plugin versions:

no plugins.

$ ape --version

0.7.16.dev4+ge91bc152d.d20240416

• Contents of your ape-config.yaml (NOTE: do not post anything private like RPC urls or secrets!):

no config

What went wrong?

When python package scripts is installed (or any python package named scripts), ape cannot run CLI (clickbased scripts, the ones that define acli`.

steps to repro:

1. make a cli script (repro.py):

import click

@click.command()
def cli():
    print("Won't see this.")

2. install any python package named scripts (note: there is one on pypi, but i dont know what it is so be careful lol)

pip install scripts

3. try running the cli script:

ape run repro

fails like:

ERROR: Exception while parsing script: scripts/repro.py
        ImportError: No module named scripts.repro
        (Use `--verbosity DEBUG` to see full stack-trace)
ERROR: Exception while parsing script: scripts/repro.py
        ImportError: No module named scripts.repro
Usage: ape run [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Try 'ape run -h' for help.

Error: No such command 'repro'.

How can it be fixed?

I don't know yet

More info

this is currently blocking us from upgrading web3.py for some reason, because py-evm is mistakenly exporting their scripts folder as a python package. I have told the about it and I think they'll fix it, but it highlighted this bug independently in ape.

it might be a clue that the main based scripts still work!

also would like to investigate why the log appears twice
