Is there any way to use __import__ to replace the following:

Between the following two recipes, it seems unlikely that a simple
"No" is really correct:

A variation on some of the code therein should certainly be
able to do the equivalent of "from xx import *". (The addition
of support for __all__ is at least required for full emulation.)
