17061	"Factor out ""get a module-level object from a dotted path"" function"	Carl Meyer	Claude Paroz	"We've got importlib.import_module, but we're missing a higher-level function that would take ""x.y.z.foo"" (and maybe a fallback default?) and return the actual object ""foo"" from the ""x.y.z"" module. Instead we've got the same .rsplit(1) code duplicated everywhere we need to do this.

One implementation we could steal is here: https://github.com/erikrose/django-tidings/blob/master/tidings/utils.py#L144

I was sure there was already a ticket for this, but can't seem to find it, so maybe I was wrong..."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Core (Other)	dev	Normal	fixed		james@…	Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
