Brett Cannon added the comment: TL;DR for Antoine: when using a fromlist, import failures from that list are silently ignored. Because ImportError is overloaded in terms of what it means (e.g. bag magic number, module not found) there needs to be a clean way to tell the import failed because the module wasn't found so other ImportError reasons can properly propagate.
