fix: use importlib.import_module instead of __import__

`import_module` is newer, and provides a couple of advantages over a bare `__import__`:
> The import_module() function acts as a simplifying wrapper around importlib.__import__(). This means all semantics of the function are derived from importlib.__import__(). The most important difference between these two functions is that import_module() returns the specified package or module (e.g. pkg.mod), while __import__() returns the top-level package or module (e.g. pkg).

It's unclear if this will actually fix any problems in the real world, but there's no recent to use `__import__` at this point AFAICT.
