title: Errors are NOT throwing properly?
body: <p>Okay, so this is the strangest thing I've seen happen in a pretty long time.  So, I fire up vs2012 like I normally do, and start some imports.  I have a module I'm working with, and I import it via static import from the root of my module.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import os
  from foo.bar import bang
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I execute these in the interpreter... and all of a sudden, my exceptions don't work.</p>
  
  <p>I type in, <code>assert 1 == 2</code>, and nothing happens.  I type in <code>x[1]</code>, and nothing happens.  No x is undefined, no assertionerror, nothing.</p>
  
  <p>Okay, so I restart my interpreter, and just do the assertion statement.  It works fine.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone ever seen anything like this?  What could possibly be causing it?  (Yes, I know it's the imported module, but seeing as it's quite a bit of code, perhaps a place to start looking before I go diving into the depths?)</p>
  
  <p>[edit]</p>
  
  <p>Running commands in the interactive seem to take a long time, too-- <code>dir()</code> took like 3 seconds to come up with a list 8 or so items long.</p>
