I was having the same issue, but according to help I've seen from other places, pymel.core is actually imported, regardless of the error that is thrown.
You can verify it by typing dir(pmc) and seeing its result. If you keep typing the next sentences provided in the example, everything keeps working as expected. It is very odd, and I'm also starting too. I hope no other issues are found in the future regarding this import.
