Best to fix that, then.

That's a poorly-named module. PEP 8 recommends module names be all
lowercase.

And this is the reason: PEP 8 recommends class names be named with
TitleCase, so they're distinguishable from module names.
So the above should be:
import grid
grid.Grid()
> for page in self.allowedPages:
> setattr(self, page, __import__(page))
For completeness, I'll note that the function name would be PEP 8
compatible as ‘allowed_pages’.

Why do you shy away from this? You're already using ‘__import__’, and I
don't know why that is since you already showed that you're importing
the module explicitly anyway.
