I'm not sure if I follow your full requirements, but are you after
something like this?

  class Settings(object):
      def load_config(self, module_name):
          module = __import__(module_name)
          self.__dict__[module_name] = module

  >>> settings = Settings()
  >>> settings.load_config('project.test')
  >>> settings.load_config('project')
  >>> settings.project.CONFIG_PARAMETER_1
  'project.config_parameter_1'
  >>> settings.project.test.CONFIG_PARAMETER_1
  'project.test.config_parameter_1'
