I think Yann is using shortcuts, not execution by providing module name as
a string, so than "import" is really a keyword:

>>> a = 1
>>> a.real
1
>>> a.xxx
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'xxx'
>>> a.import()
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    a.import()
           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
