<p>&#8216;imports&#8217; a string &#8211; converts a string to a Python object, importing
any necessary modules and evaluating the expression.  Everything
before the : in an import expression is the module path; everything
after is an expression to be evaluated in the namespace of that
module.</p>
<p>Alternately, if no : is present, then import the modules and get the
attributes as necessary.  Arbitrary expressions are not allowed in
that case.</p>
