Issue #, if available: #7758
Description of changes: This patch addresses #7758 by checking some heuristics on the string provided for import, and if it looks like a file that wasn't given the URI "file://" prefix, tell the user. This also updates the docs for "configure import" to make this requirement clearer.
This is my first contribution to this project, and I haven't written Python in quite a while, so please let me know if there's anything that needs changed!
