demandimport: do not raise ImportError for unknown item in fromlist This is the behavior of the default __import__() function, which doesn't validate the existence of the fromlist items. Later on, the missing attribute is detected while processing the import statement. https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/v2.7.13/Python/import.c#l2575 The comtypes library relies on this (maybe) undocumented behavior, and we got a bug report to TortoiseHg, sigh. https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issues/4647/ The test added at 26a4e46af2bc verifies the behavior of the import statement, so this patch only adds the test of __import__() function and works around CPython/PyPy difference.
