[issue12583] More detailed ImportError messages

[R. David Murray]

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

Yes, there are ways other than an import statement that a module can get imported (the __import__ function, for example, and the imp module for another, as well as importlib).

If you want to try your hand at writing a patch to do the post mortem you will discover that import in Python is...complicated.
