I think the AttributeError message should improve, and special-case certain common types, in particular modules. E.g. it could read

    AttributeError: module 'io' has no attribute 'BufferedIOBase'

or even

   AttributeError: <module 'io' from 'C:\\Program Files\\Python34\\lib\\io.py'> has no attribute 'BufferedIOBase'

IIUC, the first version would already have helped the OP, and the second version would have been dead-clear (except that it is a little verbose).
