Yes.

Ah Ha!

That's what comes of working from memory instead of letting the computer
remember for me.

>>> factoryFile = 'ThingMaker'
>>> factoryObject = __import__(factoryFile)
>>> print dir(factoryObject)
['MakeOtherThing', 'MakeThing', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__',
'__name__']
>>> factoryObject.MakeThing()
I made a Thing!

Wonderful! Exactly what I'm after, thanks.

Yes, that's what I was getting. Should have pasted that as well, but I
was feeling grumpy and impatient.
