Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: It sounds like you may want runpy.run_module [1], rather than using imports at all. If you know how many levels up you want to go, it isn't hard to do your own munging of __name__ to create absolute module references to pass to runpy.
The signature of __import__ is known to be unintuitive to the point of being insane - it's really designed for the convenience of the compiler and the interpreter, not for direct use by humans.
