You could wrap it in an object, but that's a bit of a hack.

import sys

class Foo(object):
     def __init__(self, wrapped):
         self.wrapped = wrapped

     def __getattr__(self, name):
         try:
             return getattr(self.wrapped, name)
         except AttributeError:
             return 'default'

sys.modules[__name__] = Foo(sys.modules[__name__])
