import and from serve to import packages using their canonical package
names into the appropriate module name spaces.

The alias is applied as a part of the importing process and the target
of this is the module name space.

Since from looks at the canonical names (in the virtualenv etc.) from
sjson means it should look up a package on the disk called sjson (not
locate sjson out of module namespace)
