'Request the remote process import a module (or symbols from a module)
and return the proxied results. Uses built-in __import__() function, but
adds a bit more processing:
_import(\'module\')  =>  returns module
_import(\'module.submodule\')  =>  returns submodule
(note this differs from behavior of __import__)
_import(\'module\', fromlist=[name1, name2, ...])  =>  returns [module.name1, module.name2, ...]
(this also differs from behavior of __import__)'
