Re: 2to3 adds '.' in front dir of "from dir import ..." statements (Was: [MoM] lefse migration to python 3])

It results from the ambiguity between absolute and relative imports in
Python 2.

Here 2to3 considers your imports being relative, hence the added dot. I
believe no dots would be added should a `from __future__ import
absolute_import` be found in the preamble of the module.

Hope this helps.
