Comment (by i_i):

 `__import__(mod, {}, {}, [mod.split('.')[-1]])` works perfectly in any
 situation:

 {{{
 >>> for mod in ('django', 'django.utils', 'django.utils.encoding'):
 ...     print __import__(mod, {}, {}, [mod.split('.')[-1]])
 ...
 <module 'django' from '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-
 packages/django/__init__.pyc'>
 <module 'django.utils' from '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-
 packages/django/utils/__init__.pyc'>
 <module 'django.utils.encoding' from '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-
 packages/django/utils/encoding.pyc'>
 }}}

 Just like `__import__(mod, {}, {}, [''])` only without ugly side-effects.

 The change is *very* simple and working/tested, I don't understand the
 reasons to wait.
