@Eijebong - this has changed sufficiently enough that you probably ought to have another look at it. |

`import_module` is newer, and provides a couple of advantages over a bare `__import__`: > The import_module() function acts as a simplifying wrapper around importlib.__import__(). This means all semantics of the function are derived from importlib.__import__(). The most important difference between these two functions is that import_module() returns the specified package or module (e.g. pkg.mod), while __import__() returns the top-level package or module (e.g. pkg). It's unclear if this will actually fix any problems in the real world, but there's no recent to use `__import__` at this point AFAICT.
