I think there is a bug in your code.  Several lines have the wrong
indentation.  The following:

>                 if dict.has_key(k):
>                     if type(v) == types.TupleType:
>                         for item in v:
>                             ## modpath = self._package + item
>                             modpath = item
>                             dict[k][item] = modpath

>                             ## modpath = '_'+self._package +'.'+ v1

should be:

>             self.__dict__[name] = {}
>         d = {}
>         execfile(os.path.join(self._path, _EXP_DEF), d)
>         for k,v in d.items():

>                         dict[k][item] = modpath
