How about the import builtin?

def handler(req):
     modname = req.filename
     if modname.endswith('.pyx'):
         mod = __import__(modname)
         mod.main(req)


Although it's a little more complicated than this.  You'll have to add the 
path to sys.path and then split out the file name to import.  Also you 
might have to do something to get python to import a file with a pyx extension.
