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.
