for l in fromlist:
if not isinstance(l, str):
raise TypeError(...)
Note also that you can get an arbitrary error if fromlist is not a sequence.
Actually this issue doesn't look very important for Python 3, since it is
unlikely that non-string is passed in fromlist. Unlike to Python 2 where you
can pass unicode if just use unicode_literals. Other solution for Python 2 is
allowing unicode in fromlist. Perhaps this would increase compatibility with
Python 3.
