Don’t. Just don’t. Do I need to explain just how horrible that it? Dynamically importing (though sometimes inevitable) and importing into global namespace (always avoidable, but sometimes the easier solution and fine withtrusted modules) are bad enough themselves.

Just do
_temp = __import__(name, globals(), locals(), [name_of_class]); your_class = _temp.name_of_class. According to the docs, this is about what from name import name_of_class would do.
