It's true. At least until someone proves me wrong and submits a working
patch.

I have blissfully forgotten the finer details of imp.load_module() but
you can fake an import with code like this. It creates a module, inserts
it in sys.modules and execute some code in the module namespace.
moduletext = """
import sys
def foo():
print sys.path
"""
import sys, new
sys.modules['mymodule'] = mod = new.module("mymodule")
exec moduletext in mod.__dict__
