>You can mess around with PYTHONPATH and importlib to work around that but that's a horrible hack that also breaks all tooling

....no.

import keyword uses importlib under the hood. It just does a lot of things for you like setting up namespace. But importlib has all the functionality to add the code in any python file cleanly.

My custom agent that I use basically has the functionality to wrap every piece of code it writes as a tool and stores it into python files. During tool calls, it pretty much dynamically imports that code as part of a module within the project. Works perfectly fine.
