[IronPython] Red Flag(?) change in "import"

[Federico Vaggi]

  I ran into a relatively similar problem with importing networkx into 
IronPython, but was able to fix it by editing out a few of the lines.  
It seems that the import behaviour in cpython and ironpython is slightly 
different sometime.

I can post a list of the steps that I took if it is helpful at all.
