I figured out the problem -- it came from marshalled old code objects. If you throw away all .pyc files the problem goes away. You can also get rid of the similar checks for the 'name' argument -- this should just be a PyUnicode too. A systematic approach to invalidating all the .pyc files is updating the magic number in import.c.

I figured out the problem -- it came from marshalled old code objects. 
If you throw away all .pyc files the problem goes away.  You can also
get rid of the similar checks for the 'name' argument -- this should
just be a PyUnicode too.  A systematic approach to invalidating all the
.pyc files is updating the magic number in import.c.
