"dynamical" importing

[John Abel]

Try:

userModule = _importModule( pathToModule )

def _importModule( moduleName ):
    modName = __import__ ( moduleName )
    modComponents = moduleName.split( '.' )
    for indivComp in modComponents[ 1: ]:
        modName = getattr( modName, indivComp )

    return modName
