The above tries to import module misc located at gub/misc.

Both of the above are imports of standard library modules.

Now comes the interesting part: These are all standard library modules,  
again, but...

...apparently python prefers and tries to import logging located at  
gub/logging.

So the problem appears to be that the file gub/logging.py shadows the  
standard library logging module. Perhaps the fix is to rename  
gub/logging.py to something that doesn't clash, as suggested in the FIXME  
in lilypond.make.
