Description
# 🐞 bug report
### Affected Rule
py_binary + py_library
### Is this a regression?
Yes, it started with 2.0.0, before that the problem was not there
### Description
It is no longer possible to have a `lib.py` in the root and import it.
It seems that this colides now with some lib that is in the path. This was before not the case.
Considering that lib is not a Python library, I would not have expected having any colision.
## 🔬 Minimal Reproduction
You can grab this example and upgrade to rules_python 2.0.0

## 🌍 Your Environment
**Operating System:**
Windows
**Output of `bazel version`:**
8.7.0
**Rules_python version:**
2.0.0 as well as 2.0.1
**Anything else relevant?**
That is not a big issue for me, I workaround the problem my renaming `lib.py` to `my_lib.py`. However the bigger question would be what are the names that can have problems and the ones that not? I could have imagine names from the Python standard library to have problems with it but afaik lib is not one of them.
