Inheriting Python modules?

Hi,

How should "dynamic module inheritance" be implemented with Python?

Example:

It should be possible to write: "import defaults" so that it would first
import everything from common.defaults -module and after that other stuff
from product.defaults-module. Content of both modules should be accessible
through one common (defaults) interface so that the caller wouldn't have to
know from which module the code is actually accessed.

I would NOT like to create "dummy" logical defaults-module which would
simply import both modules - things should happen automatically at runtime.

BR,
    timo
