Because buildbot isn't in scope. Python doesn't im[prt top-level modules
by deafult. If you want that to work, you need to do

  import buildbot

or

  import buildbot.status.results

Doing

  from buildbot.status.results import SKIPPED

doesn't introduce the name `buildbot` into scope, just `SKIPPED`.
