SyntaxError in plumbum/cli/image.py

[grozin]

image.py contains the line

import . as cli

All versions of python I tried (3.6, 3.5, 2.7) raise SyntaxError reading this line. According to the Python Language Reference, such syntax of the import statement is not allowed. What exactly is the purpose of this line? And how to achieve this purpose in legal python?

Is the following patch OK?

Argh, this site does not like .patch files, had to rename it.

With certain versions of pip, this will actually break the installation of Plumbum entirely, because those versions have a hard dependency on the py->pyc step succeeding. (This happened at one of my work deployments; don't have the logs on me atm.)

@grozin if that patch works (I haven't verified it), maybe you can submit it as a pull request, instead? That maximizes the chances of it being picked up.

@grozin never mind, I found a smaller patch and submitted that as a pull request. Thanks for opening this issue!
