Brett Cannon added the comment:
Here are two possible tests.
1) __import__('distutils', fromlist=['_i_do_not_exist']) should return distutils
2) Use a fake loader which executes some code which does nothing more than
tries to import a non-existent module. The trick with this test is that the
submodule must be found but a module that the submodule needs cannot be found
by import itself (and simply not faked with an ImportError thanks to the
_not_found hack and needing that attribute to propagate up to the submodule
search).
And I think the failure stems from the lack of check against exc.name equaling
the name of the module being imported (e.g. exc.name ==
distutils.msvc9compiler) since the winreg import is a failed module search as
well.
