Dynamically importing modules

I have a quick question about importing modules. I would like to have a
script that in sitting in a directory and in this directory I want to
have sub directories that represent modules to that script. However
I do not want this script to have any prior knowledge of what modules
may exist. So I would like for the script to look at it current working
directory and then try to load each module that does exist through the
use of import. But I can not seem to figure out how to get import to
work for me. Because I need to be able to loop through a list
(os.listdir()) of the subdirectories/modules that the script has found
and try to import them. Does anyone have any suggestions? Does this
even make sense?
thanks,
Jared
