The cleverness doesn't use the import statement, which is why py2app  
doesn't understand this. Py2exe will suffer from the same problem as  
it uses a simular algorithm.

It's unlikely that this will be fixed in Python itself, we'll have to  
add a recipe to py2app that works around this problem. I don't have  
time to look at this right now, patches are obviously welcome :-)

P.S. This is an issue with Python >= 2.5 only.
