[issue27642] import and __import__() fails silently without a ImportError and does not add the module to the file's namespace.

[Emanuel Barry]

Emanuel Barry added the comment:

`import` merely adds the imported module to the current namespace which, in your code, is some local (non-global) namespace. It is successfully imported but never used, and quickly falls out of scope.

You also check for `testplugin in sys.modules`, but you want `'testplugin' in sys.modules`. Closing this as not a bug, please reopen if there's indeed a bug I didn't spot.
