Summary: unicode('foo', '.utf99') does not raise LookupError
Initial Comment:
A very minor inconsistency -- when I call unicode()
with an encoding that Python doesn't know about, it
usually returns a lookup error (e.g LookupError:
unknown encoding: utf99). But when the encoding begins
with a dot (ASCII 0x2e), Python instead gives a
ValueError: Empty module name. It is certainly correct
in raising an error, but it should raise a lookup
error, not a value error.
I've recreated this under Python 2.4.1/FreeBSD 6.0 and
2.3/OS X. See attachment for recreation steps.

Is it possible for an encoding name to contain dots at all?
If not, this would do too:
if '.' in modname: continue

The problem is that after normalizing the encoding name a
module with this name is imported. Maybe
encodings/__init__.py:search_function should do:
if ".".join(filter(None, modname.split("."))) != modname:
return None
