to use replace __package__ with six.pkgname(globals())

useful when using the importlib_resources backport

from __future__ import absolute_import

try:
    from importlib import resources as importlib_resources
except ImportError:
    import importlib_resources


resource_text = importlib_resources.read_text(__package__, "file.csv")

on Python2:

TypeError: None is not a package

from __future__ import absolute_import

import six

try:
    from importlib import resources as importlib_resources
except ImportError:
    import importlib_resources


resource_text = importlib_resources.read_text(six.pkgname(globals()), "file.csv")

I'm a bit confused why import_resources.read_ exist at all when pkgutil.get_data has existed for many years and works if you just pass __name__.

@benjaminp here's the issue where it landed: https://bugs.python.org/issue32248

pkgutil.get_data doesn't work in various cases, such as namespace packages
