If I had to do this, I'd use packages:

import foo       # the standard module - presumably already on sys.path
import my.foo    # my module which lives in its own little world

Remember to qualify names correctly, and/or do something like:

import foo as std_foo

But if your foo is under your control, why not do everyone a favour and call
it something else?
