    from foo import bar
ImportError: cannot import name bar

    The error may be due to the wrong 'foo' being found, some investigation
    is required.

    If the the ImportError message included the filename for 'foo', the
    problem would be obvious.
    ImportError cannot import name bar from /usr/lib/<snip>/foo.pyc

    Closing as "won't fix" as this assumes that path information is
    applicable to all importers which is not correct.
