R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

I'm sorry, I mistyped.  That is the error message I was expecting (it's
derived from the one 'import' gives in that case).   If the test were
like this:

    elif exc is ImportError and str(value).endswith(path.split('.')[-1]):

then I think the tests would pass (but I haven't checked yet).
