[mod_python] Importing different script with the same names

I ran into this as well when I was toying with a source code browser.  I
imported the modules and hashed the name against the dir like so:

name = '%s_%s' % (page.split('/')[-1].replace('.py',''),
                  md5.new(fulldir+page).hexdigest())

m = imp.load_module(name,file(fulldir+page),
                    fulldir+page, ('.py', 'r', imp.PY_SOURCE))

HTML = pydoc.HTMLDoc().document(m)

Works fine, but you end up with a lot of modules loaded you are not
using.  I ended up using a method that didn't require an import to get
docstrings.  The virthost is a better way to go if you can.
