Maybe your bug was #11637, or one of the other bugs that I fixed in 
1405df4a1535.  Your simple example now works.

[issue11552] Confusing error message when hook module cannot be loaded

It’s strange because we do have tests for the function.  Can you look at them 
and find any error?

[issue11552] Confusing error message when hook module cannot be loaded

[cournapeau david]

New submission from cournapeau david courn...@gmail.com:

The following simple example:

setup.cfg

[global]
setup_hook = hooks.foo

and the following hooks.py file

def foo(content):
pass


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ../distutils2/distutils2/pysetup, line 5, in module
main()
  File /Users/david/src/projects/distutils2/distutils2/run.py, line 486, in 
main
return dispatcher()
  File /Users/david/src/projects/distutils2/distutils2/run.py, line 477, in 
__call__
return func(self, self.args)
  File /Users/david/src/projects/distutils2/distutils2/run.py, line 161, in 
_run
dist.parse_config_files()
  File /Users/david/src/projects/distutils2/distutils2/dist.py, line 317, in 
parse_config_files
return self.config.parse_config_files(filenames)
  File /Users/david/src/projects/distutils2/distutils2/config.py, line 258, 
in parse_config_files
self._read_setup_cfg(parser, filename)
  File /Users/david/src/projects/distutils2/distutils2/config.py, line 120, 
in _read_setup_cfg
self.setup_hook = resolve_name(setup_hook)
  File /Users/david/src/projects/distutils2/distutils2/util.py, line 644, in 
resolve_name
raise ImportError(exc)
ImportError: 'str' object has no attribute 'foo'

I don't understand how it works exactly, but the current code cannot work, as 
ret needs to be a module package after the __import__ (i.e. the codepath 
following line 632 and later in util.py (resolve_name function))
