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.
