Yes, you were correct. That was the issue. Now I am just noticing that it wasn't an AssertionError, but an AttributeError. Whoops.

I suppose that is the danger of relative imports. Perhaps the application could be rewritten to use absolute imports instead, in case someone has `misc`, `tree`, `paths`, etc. modules in their python path? Any of those would cause meld to crash similarly.
