Description
When adding an app to INSTALLED_APPS, if the app in question isn't a proper module (i.e. has init.py) the error
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute APPNAME
appears, where APPNAME is the first part of the path that fails.
Mostly, this is just not a very useful error message. I'm attaching a patch with a suggested message.
I have no idea what to categorize this as.

Raising new exceptions in response to others is generally a bad idea -- it can hide the real exception in lots of cases.
