Possible to import a module whose name is contained in a variable?

Does this do what you want?

---------- libinfo/__init__.py ----------
-----------------------------------------

---------- libinfo/module1.py ----------
def libinfo():
     return "module1"
----------------------------------------

---------- libinfo/module2.py ----------
def libinfo():
     return "module2"
----------------------------------------

py> modules = ['module1', 'module2']
py> libinfo = __import__('libinfo', globals(), locals(), modules)
py> for module in modules:
...     getattr(libinfo, module).libinfo()
...
'module1'
'module2'
