- For example, the statement ``import spam`` results in the following call:
- ``__import__('spam', globals(), locals(), [], -1)``; the statement
- ``from spam.ham import eggs`` results in ``__import__('spam.ham', globals(),
- locals(), ['eggs'], -1)``. Note that even though ``locals()`` and ``['eggs']``
- are passed in as arguments, the :func:`__import__` function does not set the
- local variable named ``eggs``; this is done by subsequent code that is generated
- for the import statement. (In fact, the standard implementation does not use
- its *locals* argument at all, and uses its *globals* only to determine the
- package context of the :keyword:`import` statement.)
-
- When the *name* variable is of the form ``package.module``, normally, the
- top-level package (the name up till the first dot) is returned, *not* the
- module named by *name*. However, when a non-empty *fromlist* argument is
- given, the module named by *name* is returned. This is done for
- compatibility with the :term:`bytecode` generated for the different kinds of import
- statement; when using ``import spam.ham.eggs``, the top-level package
- :mod:`spam` must be placed in the importing namespace, but when using ``from
- spam.ham import eggs``, the ``spam.ham`` subpackage must be used to find the
- ``eggs`` variable. As a workaround for this behavior, use :func:`getattr` to
- extract the desired components. For example, you could define the following
