Loading just in time

I am trying to create a utility module that only loads functions when
they are first called rather than loading everything. I have a bunch
of files in my utility directory with individual methods and for each I
have lines like this in __init__.py:
def calc_tax(*arg, **name):
from calc_tax import calc_tax as _func_
calc_tax = _func_
return _func_(*arg, **name)
This works the first time I call utility.calc_tax but if I call it
again I get a "TypeError: 'module' object is not callable" error. Is
there any way to do what I want or do I have to put everything back
into a single file. Of course, I can simply change all my calls to
utility.calc_tax.calc_tax(...) but I have a lot of code to change if I
do that.
Thanks.
