I've also had this happen on an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS install with minimal unofficial packages installed (only Dropbox). The python-dap package which contains this is the standard Ubuntu package.

There's a "fix" available in the answer to this stackoverflow question:

 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13915269/why-do-i-get-userwarning-module-dap-was-already-imported-from-none

..which is to add "dap" as the first line in the /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dap-2.2.6.7.egg-info/namespace_packages.txt file.

This appears to work, as it doesn't attempt to import the already built-in module "dap". Are there any problems this hack is likely to cause? If this is the correct solution then it would be nice to have in a 12.04 LTS update package if possible.
