Dynamic loading of modules

[Andreas Lydersen]

Hi,
I'd like to load a set of modules from a directory.  I have tried to use the
__import__(...) statement to do so, but with no success.
¨
The static approch works (of course), but the dynamic does not!

static:
import plugins.Password

dynamic atttempt:
__import__("plugins.Password")

I have tried 'exec "plugins.Password"', and that works.  However, I need to
get a list of pointers to the modules I import in order to work with them
later.

Bottom line is:  I need to know how to dynamically load modules and get a
pointer to the same module.

Any help is appreciated.
