Here's an example that may help you:

import imp
import sys

python_source = """
def test_dynamic():
    return 1
"""

module = imp.new_module('some_module')
sys.modules['some_module'] = module
exec python_source in module.__dict__
from some_module import test_dynamic
print test_dynamic()

You can "exec" a string against any dictionary; you don't actually
need a module to do it.
