Yes.

And FWIW, you can drop the quotes around the word 'object', because 
Python's modules *are* objects:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May  2 2007, 16:56:35)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.__class__
<type 'module'>
 >>>
