I can't be 100% sure of the cause, but I *have*
seen this (a bad .pyc file that had to be
deleted before the module would import). The .pyc
was woefully short but passed the magic
test. I think this was 2.1, maybe 2.0. 

This was during a firestorm at a client
site, so I didn't get around to a bug report.
