This purposely doesn't work, as it would impose a pretty big 
performance hit and a lot of extra complexity in the PythonNet 
runtime. I just noticed that I hadn't documented that in the 
README though - I've updated it for the next release.

If this is a significant issue for enough people, it might be 
worth revisiting, but as I recall supporting the '*' form 
introduces a lot of strange and unexpected side effects with 
regard to module loading, since an assembly can contribute 
names to multiple 'modules' from Python's point of view, 
unlike pure Python modules.
