Isn't that awfully complicated? What's wrong with using __import__ to get
a module object?
>>> mod = __import__("math")
>>> mod
<module 'math' from '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/mathmodule.so'>
The only advantage (or maybe it is a disadvantage?) I can see to your
function is that it doesn't search the Python path and you can specify an
absolute file name.
