In general, it is always better to import Java classes directly and avoid depending on importing packages, so for example: from java.security.spec import DSAPrivateKeySpec should work much better. Our package caching mechanism has limits - there is no real way to ask a JVM: what classes does this package contain? Instead we walk through the jars and keep notes ourselves with the package caching mechanism. I'm tempted to turn it off by default in 3.x.
