I’d like to point out that importlib in 2.7 is only a subset of the version in 3.1 (precisely, importlib.import_module only), so packaging a full backport of importlib makes sense for 2.7 too.
python-import is not a full backport of 3.X's importlib. In fact, importlib packages from python-import and from python2.7 are byte-to-byte identical.
