So, I ran in a very similar issue trying to import qi on pynaoqi-python2.7-2.5.5.5-mac64. Here is the Terminal log:

>>> import qi
Traceback (most recent call last):

I made two modifications which make the import of qi work, however I'm not sure if both were necessary:

• Running the command csrutil status returned: System Integrity Protection status: enabled. I disabled it restarting the computer and running some command in the Recovery mode's Terminal, then restarted the computer.

• As can be seen in the log at the beginning of this post, I had in the path of the Traceback a folder called /Cellar/, which was coming from Homebrew. As it happened, I was not using the default python on my computer (running which python confirmed it) but instead Homebrew's.
