Dynamic loading of modules

[Johan Fredrik Øhman]

I tried this below.  But as you see, even if the Password.py has a "def init()"
it doesn't work.

Python 2.2 (#1, Mar 26 2002, 15:46:04)
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> z = __import__("plugins.Password")
>>> z.init()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'init'
