That won't quite work since the string generally isn't referring to a
module, and due to the quirk of __import__ returning the top level
module since that is what the interpreter needs to bind to a name as
part of a normal import statement.
This would need to look more like:
if not hasattr(factory, '__call__'):
mod_name, dot, attr = factory.rpartition('.')
if not dot:
raise ValueError("<something meaningful>")
module = imputil.import_module(mod_name)
factory = getattr(module, attr)
Cheers,
Nick.
