Is there any way to access attributes from an imported module?

It doesn't work. I get an AttributeError any time I try to access the
class instance from the sub-module. Even moving the load() call outside
__init__() doesn't change this.

I need to affect a specific instance which imports the sub-modules.



I worded the subject line wrong (and I've no clue how to word it now).
This is quite hard to explain, and I don't think it's easy to understand
without really examining the code (I don't even fully understand it).
More ideas are certainly welcome, but I think I'll have to ask the
developer (who has only been somewhat active lately).
