There's always the question of whether it's a good idea.  My opinion is 
that if you want to use python source files from another version, you 
should *copy* them into your present version's syspath, and import them 
as a 3rd party site-package.  So it's a question of putting it in the 
site-packages directory and adding a __init__.py file.

Alternatively, you can modify the sys.path, import it, then restore the 
sys.path.  With that hack, you can do anything.
