David Szotten added the comment:
after some trial and error it only appears to break for 3rd party packages (all
20 or so i happened to have installed), whereas everything i tried importing
from the standard library worked fine
```
>>> __import__('requests.', fromlist=[u'get'])
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: Item in ``from list'' not a string
>>> __import__('os.', fromlist=[u'path'])
<module 'os' from '<snip (virtualenv)>/lib/python2.7/os.pyc'>
```
