Title: config file option doesn't work for dotted names

Due to the way [`__import__` works](http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#__import__) (see fourth paragraph) dotted config package / module names are not correctly imported.

The most robust solution would probably be to switch to using importlib.import_module(). importlib is bundled with python from 2.7 onwards and is [available on PyPI](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/importlib) for older python versions down to 2.3.
