Improve syntax error for invalid imports

[pablogsal]

Is quite common to type import x from y instead of from y import x. We can easily offer a better error message in this case.

Hi @pablogsal thanks for all your work on error messages. Is a similar situation, but where someone attempts to import more than one name from a module something we'd like to support?

Currently this situation doesn't benefit from your updates:

>>> import s, d from this
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    import s, d from this
                ^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Just came across it, so I thought I'd leave a note. Thanks again!

Thanks a lot for the kind words and the suggestion! I will give some though to see how hard is to support this. :)
