It seems that 2to3 is a bit simplistic when it comes to
translating import statements. I have a module GUI.py2exe
containing:

   import py2exe.mf as modulefinder

2to3 translates this into:

   from . import py2exe.mf as modulefinder

which is a syntax error.

It looks like 2to3 is getting confused by the fact that
there is both a submodule and a top-level module here
called py2exe. But the original can only be an absolute
import because it has a dot in it, so 2to3 shouldn't be
translating it into a relative one.

Putting "from __future__ import absolute_import" at the
top fixes it, but I shouldn't have to do that, should I?
