Use __import__ instead of import, for example:

% python -c "print getattr(__import__('sys'), 'version')"
2.2.2 (#1, Oct 16 2002, 18:08:06)
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release)]

or a shorter version:

% python -c "s=__import__('sys'); print s.version"
2.2.2 (#1, Oct 16 2002, 18:08:06)
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release)]
