Hi,

Stemming from an observation in #8712: Python 2 does come with importlib, which does have a more elegant way of loading modules via importlib.import_module. This is more readable than using import function directly.

Steps to reproduce:

Try using both import and importlib.impot_module to load an external module.

Actual behavior:

Module loads via either method.

Expected behavior:

Module loads.

System configuration:

NVDA version:

Name and version of other software in use when reproducing the issue:

Preferably as part of NVDA 2019.1.

Thanks.
