I agree it's a bug. May I encourage you to file it as such on bugs.python.org? 2to3 is part of the stdlib.

There's all sorts of weird stuff going on in that import, like having a dot in the from part of the import instead of doing from .py2exe import_ _mf as modulefinder.

If I did that, it would try to import mf from the py2exe submodule rather than the global one. In hindsight it was probably a bad idea to name the submodule py2exe, but the code worked as intended. My point is that, regardless of anything else, 2to3 shouldn't be generating syntactically incorrect code. I can understand if it's not considered worth fixing, but it's still a bug. -- Greg
