Berker's fix for Python 2.7 looks good to me.
However, Python 3 has a comparably vague error message, it's just inverted to
complain about bytes rather than unicode due to the change in the native str
type:
>>> __import__('encodings', fromlist=[b'aliases'])
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1013, in _handle_fromlist
TypeError: hasattr(): attribute name must be string
hasattr() in Python 2.7 is similarly unhelpful regarding what type it actually
got when you give it something it doesn't expect.
