My first thought was __getattr__ on a package, but that doesn't seem to work: # stdlib/__init__.py def __getattr__(name): return __import__(name) >>> import stdlib.math Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'stdlib.math' >>> from stdlib import math >>> math <module 'math' from '/usr/local/lib/python3.10/lib-dynload/math.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'> It may be necessary to use an import hook.
