I haven't followed the thread in detail, but I gather you're trying to
import a file with a variable name? Instead of 'import user', try:

user = __import__("foobar")

You can then replace the quoted string with whatever you need (note,
leave off the .py extension). In your code, it'll be as if you did:

import foobar as user

but with the flexibility of using whatever run-time-chosen name you need.
