Thanks for the clear explanation, and sorry about the basic question. 
Just next to the quixote.server line I was doing a 
quixote.util.import_object, that works just fine of course, as util is 
a module.

I can see why the underlying implementation would behave like this, but 
from a usability point of view this is a nice big, eh, beauty spot.
