Sounds like something's fishy in your os module.  The current 2.1.1 code for
_get_exports_list is

    def _get_exports_list(module):
        try:
            return list(module.__all__)
        except AttributeError:
            return [n for n in dir(module) if n[0] != '_']

so it should be catching the AttributeError (the posix module is not
supposed to have an attribute named '__all__').  What does _get_exports_list
look like?  Where are you picking up the os module?  Try:

    import imp
    imp.find_module("os")
