Description
Apparently there's a low-frequency issue (submitted by @jakirkham) that surfaces with code similar to this:
```
from ipyparallel import Client
client = Client()
client[:].use_dill().get()
with client[:].sync_imports():
import nest
from nest import A, B
```
Which produces:
```
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__main__'
```
I have not been able to reproduce the error, however @tcwalther has -- and provides a workaround.
See https://github.com/uqfoundation/dill/issues/133.
To me, it smells like something `ipyparallel` should be handling… so, I'm punting this over to an `ipyparallel` ticket until I hear differently.
