| Fairly straightforward one - __import__ is no longer the preferred tool for doing runtime imports, so its documentation should point to imputil.import_module (this is a little more than just a "see also", some of the existing wording in the first few paragraphs should also be tweaked) | ||

| According to http://docs.python.org/library/imputil.html, imputil is deprecated and it has been removed in 3.x. Further, I don't see import_module in imputil (2.6 or trunk), it's just an example on that documentation page. | ||
