I'm glad you're enjoying it.
I haven't been able to get a word in, myself!

There's also:

     imp.load_package( name, path ) 

( which doesn't appear to be in the documentation. ) 


You might also want to add: 

	sys.modules['instance'] = instance 


But I'm not quite sure what you're doing, so maybe not. 

What is 'roundup' ?
