Brett Cannon added the comment:
And this is why we have said people should use the idiom of
``__import__('http.blah'); mod = sys.modules['http.blah']`` if importlib is not
used (which is on PyPI and works as far back as Python 2.3), else you will deal
with an AttributeError later instead of an ImportError upfront. <grumble>Darn
backwards-compatibility</grumble>.
Eric's patch looks fine, so I will get it committed today.
