Hi,
as a follow-up to the thread a few days ago, and the bug report, I've rewritten most of the __import__ docs. I've attached the suggested patch to the issue <http://bugs.python.org/issue4457>.
I'd be glad for reviews. Also, I'd like to ask about opinions if this "winning idiom" (as a bug comment states) should be in it, instead of the getattr() helper function:
import sys __import__('x.y.z') mod = sys.modules['x.y.z']
That way is a lot cleaner than other mechanisms I've seen (including the current mechanism in the docs). Making that the recommended way of doing a dynamic import seems like a good idea to me.
