v2.17.0 regression related to W0407: preferred-modules

[ssbarnea]

Bug description

v2.17.0 release broke the W0407 rule by making the match trigger on partial string match.

# now failing due to 'py' being part of the imported name:
import copy
# some:
import pytest

This was working fine in v2.16.3 but now we need to disable preffered-modules for the moment.

Configuration

[tool.pylint.IMPORTS]
preferred-modules = ["py:pathlib", "unittest:pytest"]

Command used

-

Pylint output

W0407: Prefer importing 'pathlib' instead of 'py' (preferred-module)

@d33bs Would you have time to look into this? It feels like we shouldn't use in but rather ==.

Thanks @DanielNoord, taking a look into this and will open a PR for a fix!

I am afraid that the bug is not fixed, even in 3.0.0a6 because I tried to uncomment the rule skip on my project and still got those errors.

I am running pylint using pre-commit and version v3.0.0a6, so maybe we should reopen it.

Would you mind providing a reproducer @ssbarnea, please ?
