I tried to implement Jean-Paul Calderone's idea for the following patch, plagiarizing Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve's error text. It delays import warning until end of search for modules, but remembers how many potential modules (candidates without init.py) it didn't import. I didn't really try to analyze any conditions, instead I simply assumed that wherever ImportWarning would be issued, we have a suitable candidate, and saved it on the stack. If nothing is found, Python emits ImportWarning right before ImportError, and explains what happened. Please let me know if this would work and if anything needs to be done for this patch to be accepted.

Please notice that there is also python.org/sf/1515361

I had no time to compare this with your patch, yet.
