(Get the code!)
Occasionally we want to import a module, but only if the import of another module fails, using the same name. For example, this is a popular idiom when importing a module which has a native code version which is only available on some tergets:
try:
from themodule import TheClass
except:
from cThemodule import cTheClass as TheClass
Currently, lint warns about such cases, but it should be possible to recognize that this is valid, and not warn.
