I'm probably not the one to give you the actual answer (at least not in 
the next couple of days), but I could help you ask a better question.

Provide a simple example of your code, and what it does.  Describe the 
python version and OS platform you're running it on.  And detail the 
contents of any extra files or environment values that are needed to 
reproduce the problem.

(You may find http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html  useful)

BTW, I don't know of any method __import__(), only a builtin function, 
so I don't see how you can overload it. But your example should make it 
clear what you really meant.
