title: Override namespace in Python
body: <p>Say there is a folder, '/home/user/temp/a40bd22344'. The name is completely random and changes in every iteration. I need to be able to import this folder in Python using a fixed name, say 'project'. I know I can add this folder to sys.path to enable import lookup, but is there a way to replace 'a40bd22344' with 'project'?</p>
  
  <p>Maybe some clever hacks in <strong>init</strong>.py?</p>
  
  <p>Added: </p>
  
  <p>It needs to be global - that is, other scripts loading 'project' via the standard:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import project
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Have to work properly, loading a40bd22344 instead.</p>
