Depending on the exact complexity of your needs and exact use case just
inserting some code on top of every module could suffice. To reduce
boilerplate, if the task you're trying to realize is pretty generic for
every module, you could insert another module hiding this code and used
like this::
from .modregister import init
init(__name__)
If you really have to _create_ modules dynamically, follow the advice
given earlier in this thread.
