This is a clear case for lazy imports; perhaps something like this in
email/__init__.py:
import sys
class LazyImporter(object):
def __init__(self, module_name):
self.__module_name = module_name
def __getattr__(self, name):
__import__(self.__module_name)
mod = sys.modules[self.__module_name]
self.__dict__.update(mod.__dict__)
return getattr(mod, name)
sys.modules["email.MIMEText"] = LazyImporter("email.mime.text")
...
