Tried __import__ and it seems to execute the myapp.py just like execfile  
however it only provides access to objects defined in the module myapp.py 
only. Like I mentioned, my program has multiple packages and the objects 
myappwin needs access to are stored in an object in another module called 
doc.py.

- myapp.py provides the functions used to describe 3D objects
- app.py is imported into myapp.py and is called by the functions after they 
create the 3D objects.
- app.py uses another module called doc.py which app.py imports to save the 
objects in a class with a dictionary.
- myappwin needs to access the dictionary in the class inside the doc 
module.
