In the earlier versions, we had a more informative message in this case. We should probably restore it.  Apparently, you are trying to import pyq in a regular python interpreter.  This is not how pyq works.  Since q is not distributed as a shared library, in order to have both q and python running in the same process, we must load python into q.  We provide a convenience executable, “pyq” that gives an illusion of q running inside python, but in reality it runs “q python.q”.

TL;DR: Run pyq, not python.
