Thanks Carsten and Gabriel,
the answer is 'sys.modules'.
----------------------------------------
import sys, os
from path import sep # ImportError: No module named path
sys.modules['path'] = os.path
from path import sep # (no error)
----------------------------------------
I can now import from my module which is generated by 'new' module.
----------------------------------------
# create a module
import new
foo = new.module('foo')
foo.pi = 3.14159
foo.x2 = lambda x: 2*x
# register it to sys.modules
import sys
sys.modules['foo'] = foo
# import from that module
from foo import pi, x2
----------------------------------------
Great.

I have a package which has several small modules and I want to
integrate them into a file, with keeping compatibility.
current:
mylib/
__init__.py
html.py
xhtml.py
xml.py

:
future:
mylib.py
