[issue2377] Replace __import__ w/ importlib.__import__

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon <brett at python.org> added the comment:

Just some notes on the branch:

The FAILING file contains tests known to fail. There is a comment explaining the failure and possible fixes. If something makes it here and stays for a while it probably means upstream changes are needed (eg. test_pydoc needs ImportError to grow an attribute as to what import failed).

Python/pythonrun.c contains XXX markers of what is left to be done (although currently the zipimport comment is out-of-date and there needs to be one for exposing some APIs created in importlib.__init__). If you are looking for something to do, just search for XXX and try to tackle one of the comments.
