1364478097,PR_kwDOAMm_X85RVEiR,7874,closed,0,"Changed duck typing exception to: (ImportError, AttributeError)",3092444,"- [x] closes #7870

As described in issue #7870, there is a name-collision with the astrophysics package `pint-pulsar`, which is used to do high-precision pulsar timing. That other package would get imported as `pint`, and an `AttributeError` is thrown because that imported package is not the expected package.

By generalizing the duck typing exception to catch an `ImportError` and an `AttributeError`, we catch such name-collisions. It fits the idea and goal of duck typing.
