[New-bugs-announce] [issue7397] __import__ docs should reference imputil.import_module

[Nick Coghlan]

New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail.com>:

Fairly straightforward one - __import__ is no longer the preferred tool
for doing runtime imports, so its documentation should point to
imputil.import_module

(this is a little more than just a "see also", some of the existing
wording in the first few paragraphs should also be tweaked)
