17052	dictConfig does not correctly handle absolute imports	David Cramer	nobody	"When you have a module, say foo.bar.logging.Handler, and you try to register that with dictConfig it will cause an import error due to the way the recursive importing was implemented.

While we're not using Django for this, we are using logutils (which is still the same code):

https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/utils/dictconfig.py#L157

We patched it by simply using __import__ correctly:

{{{
class NotBrokenDictConfig(logutils.dictconfig.DictConfigurator):
    def resolve(self, s):
        module, cls_name = s.rsplit('.', 1)
        return getattr(self.importer(module, {}, {}, [cls_name]), cls_name)
}}}
