I'm not entirely clear what it is you are wanting to accomplish, but I'd
think a better option would be execfile()
At any rate, to answer your question more directly, you could do something
like:
*import* __main__ *as* m
*def* foo(modname):
mod = __import__(modname)
m.__setattr__(modname, mod)
foo('shutil')
help(shutil) *# now this name exists in this context*
