Why not the more usual:

import sys, os, imp, stat,    \
        re, webbrowser, Image, \
        StringIO, shutil, datetime

And let the Python ImportError alert you to what failed?

Or if you must print your own errors just use

try:
    import ...
except ImportError:
    # your code here

I'm not sure what code you think you need to duplicate or why.
