Eval is meant to evaluate Python expressions.  The import is a 
statement, not an expression.  Also, it's a bad idea to use eval like 
this, and it's a *really* bad idea to use eval with user supplied 
input.  The user could inject *any* malicious code.

Instead, use the importlib module to programmatically import a module.
