An even simpler aproach would be to have a ModuleNotFound error that extends ImportError and gets raised if the module can't be found.

That wouldn't solve anything, because if foo brokenly tries to import bar and that raises ModuleNotFound, so will "import foo".

Doh. Right.

A possible way to make this work is to have an exception that is raised of a module can't be found and if no module code has executed.
