It would be helpful if you posted an error message. Then, we could know
what's actually going on.

These brackets may be causing problems?

In principle, you're doing the right thing. This works for me:

Python 3.2.3 (default, May  3 2012, 15:51:42)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import importlib
>>> objname = 'os.path.join'
>>> module_name, member_name = objname.rsplit('.', 1)
>>> module = importlib.import_module(module_name)
>>> member = getattr(module, member_name)
>>> member
