logilab-astng #8969 false positive when importing from zip-safe eggs [validation pending]

Jürgen reported:

I found when you use zip-safe (unexpanded) eggs is that you get this error on a valid "import from" statement:

E0611: 19: No name 'pysupport' in module 'ui_portal_commons_utils'

If you include the same library using "setup.py develop -U" (i.e. using it in an expanded form), the error disappears.

    I'm getting the same error message with !zipsafe (expanded) eggs too 
    E0611:  1: No name 'Request' in module 'werkzeug'

    cd /tmp
    virtualenv dropped-eggs
    . dropped-eggs/bin/activate
    easy_install pylint
    easy_install -z coverage

    cat >test.py <<'.'
    from coverage import xmlreport
    print dir(xmlreport)
    .
    pylint -rn test.py

    will yield this:
    ************* Module test
    E: 1: No name 'xmlreport' in module 'coverage'

    $ python test.py
    ['Reporter', 'XmlReporter', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__url__', '__version__', 'os', 'rate', 'sorted', 'sys', 'time', 'xml']

    which is likely due to direct file system checks instead of using zipimport / pkg_resources.
