Eric Snow added the comment: My guess is that, in part, it's left-over code from before the switch to importlib. However, it relies on builtins.__import__(), which isn't guaranteed to work correctly, hence one last sync with sys.modules. I'm not convinced that justifies not simply returning the result of calling __import__().
