Martin Panter added the comment:
I think the problem with doing a blind import of the parent package is it would
be hard to differentiate between the ImportError when the package (or an
ancestor) is missing, versus a user-generated ImportError. Maybe you could
inspect the exception as a workaround (untested):
try:
__import__(pkg_name)
except ImportError as err:
if err.name != pkg_name and not pkg_name.startswith(err.name + "."):
raise
raise error(format(err))
