   This is how python behaved before python 3.0. As of python 3.0 you can easily have the same module name as package name because by default in python 3+ all imports are absolute (except those starting with .) https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0328/ . We have many modules name smilarly as packages  and it is not a problem.
   You would have to have PYTHONPATH changed to point the snowflake operators/ folder.
   
   But the most probable reason is the installation of extra packages. If you are using the prod image, from Airflow you need to install the packages with --user flag, (`pip install --user PACKAGE`) as 'airflow' user. My guess is that you switched to root and installed the snowflake packages without the --user flag.
   
   In 2.0.2 the --user flag will be enabled by default in the image.
