  Suppose you do something like this:
  try :
    mod = __import__('mymodulename')
  except ImportError:
    pass ## replace with error handling here 

  so `mod' is global if you execute the above code as top-level,
  *but* you can also pass `mod' as an argument like any other
  variable, as far as I know and far as I have done.
