If I did that, it would try to import mf from the
py2exe submodule rather than the global one.

In hindsight it was probably a bad idea to name
the submodule py2exe, but the code worked as
intended.

My point is that, regardless of anything else,
2to3 shouldn't be generating syntactically
incorrect code. I can understand if it's not
considered worth fixing, but it's still a bug.
