Oh, I didn't realize that the documentation says that the default value is -1.
http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#__import__

"level specifies whether to use absolute or relative imports. The default is -1 which indicates both absolute and relative imports will be attempted. 0 means only perform absolute imports. Positive values for level indicate the number of parent directories to search relative to the directory of the module calling __import__()."

We should probably tolerate -1, or just drop the exception.
