title: Python gives lengthy output suggesting modules are being destroyed
body: <p>So I was resolving some merge conflicts when I got this message:</p>
  <pre><code>commentaryAT/models.py: line 15: syntax error near unexpected token `('
  </code></pre>
  <p>The line this refers to looked like this:</p>
  <pre><code>from __future__ import (absolute_import, division, print_function, unicode_literals)
  </code></pre>
  <p>Right behind that, I also got this error:</p>
  <pre><code>(hattie-nHCNXwaX) malikarumi@Tetuoan2:~/Projects/hattie$ 
  commentaryAT/models.py
  from: too many arguments
  import-im6.q16: not authorized `uuid' @ 
  error/constitute.c/WriteImage/1037.
  from: too many arguments
  from: too many arguments
  from: too many arguments
  </code></pre>
  <p>Note that in my frustration I was moving too fast and forgot to put 'git add' in front of the command 'commentaryAT/models.py'</p>
  <p>So we went round and around with these two errors not being satisfied with anything I was doing to appease them, and I wondered if this was some weird Python2 error, so I decided to check the version, despite being inside a virtualenv. That now seems to have been a huge mistake:</p>

  <p>I have no idea what most of that means, but I do find words like &quot;wiping&quot; and &quot;destroy&quot; disconcerting in this context. I googled around, and most of my hits were from bugs.python.org.</p>
  <p>In <a href="https://bugs.python.org/issue33719" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this one</a> no less than Ned Batchelder posted a very long output similar to what I pasted here. He also had just used the 'python -v' command. But they report that issue as fixed and closed. I got a similar output but from a different cause. He was using Pydoc at the time.</p>
  <p>How serious is this? Have I actually lost all these files? What can be done about it?</p>
