I don't think that's very likely. ;) They are using imp (and seem to
be using it properly, based on what you wrote earlier about using the
package path as the path for dotted lookups) for the same reason I use
it in nose -- to load foo/bar.py and baz/bar.py as different modules
(where foo and baz are non-package directories). imp gives you enough
control to do that, but __import__ doesn't, as far as I know.
