I don't understand either of you. ;-)

 From my point of view, they're basically identical, and
although I find Carl's approach slightly less explicit
and harder to read (mainly the uncommon __import__ call,
but it's not a big deal), I can't see why either of them
would be considered evil.

Changing a module's contents via globals() is a very common
and surely benign thing to do.
