The variant proposed by Hrvoje Niksic:

looks more appealing, but comes with the drawback that sys has to be
imported for that purpose only.
That is not a real drawback, as "sys" will certainly be present in the
system, so the "importing" boils down to a dict lookup and a variable
assignment.
Having said that, I'd add that I found the behavior of __import__
counter-intuitive, but assumed there's a good reason for it. If I
hadn't known about sys.modules beforehand, I would have probably gone
the chained-getattr route as well.
