I suppose that is more specific than the __import__ builtin. Classes have __build_class__. Functions don't have an equivalent in the global builtins.
For imports you have to go through __import__. So a __module_class__ would dictate which class for import to use. By default it would be types.ModuleType. Makes sense.

p.s. a __build_function__ would be meaningful addition particularly if the def-from syntax were feasible. I'm just saying... :)

I was just thinking along those same lines. Sounds like twisted already does it. Does it amount to using a custom __import__?
an attribute called __moduleclass__ that works a bit
like the old __metaclass__ attribute.
Then you could do
class __moduleclass__:
