Summary: attribute error after non-from import

Initial Comment:
This bug applied to 2.3 and 2.4. It probably applies to
earlier versions, but who cares? :)

Under some circumstances, code like:

  import eek.foo.baz
  y = eek.foo.baz.y

fails with an attribute error for "foo" if foo is still
being imported.

I've attached a zip file of a demo package "eek" that
demonstrates the problem.  If you unzip the package and:

  import eek.foo

you'll get the attribute error described above.

I think the problem is that eek's foo attribute isn't
set until the import of foo is finished.  This is too late.
