import idea

[Paul Prescod]

I would suggest instead that you add an object to the globals dictionary
in your site setup. It could be called "mods" (for brevity). You would
hook up "mods.__getattr__" so that you would say:

fl=mods.glob.glob('*')

You would use __import__ in mods.__getattr__

I thought about this once and it seemed pretty cool to me as a shortcut.
You could argue that we could dump the import statement...(but I
wouldn't)

Having an explicit object as the root for the dynamically generated
package tree would be more Pythonic than having every module magically
appear in your global package namespace.

Package support needs more thinking through...
