+ \item Encountering a failure while importing a module no longer leaves
+ a partially-initialized module object in \code{sys.modules}.  The
+ incomplete module object left behind would fool further imports of the
+ same module into succeeding, leading to confusing errors.  
+ 
  \item \constant{None} is now a constant; code that binds a new value to 
  the name \samp{None} is now a syntax error.
