Rename pyspread.py to something else, then use package imports. E.g.

from pyspread import _widgets
from pyspread._choicebars import MainMenu, MainToolbar
from pyspread._dialogs import MacroDialog, CsvImportDialog, DimensionsEntryDialog, \
                      AboutDialog
from pyspread._interfaces import CsvImport, string_match
from pyspread.config import DEBUG, LIBPREFIX, ICONPREFIX, icon_size
