Cannot reproduce this. Can you add more information: directory structure, value of sys.path, which port you are using?

Hi,

i think i got it: __import__("foo.bar.foobar") returns a modules object.

m=__import__("foo.bar.foobar")

To create an object from foo.bar.foobar.Foo you have to use

f=m.Foo()

import not working
