Uh, and an example:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Aug 14 2008, 00:04:00)
[GCC 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from os import qweasd
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name qweasd (/home/gminick/Python-2.5.1/Lib/os.pyc)
>>>
