this is useless as the scope of that import is limited to that 
function in that file

I found a better (much efficient, I hope) workaround:

Quartz = None

class MyView(NSView):
    def awakeFromNib(self):
        global Quartz
        Quartz = __import__('Quartz')

    def drawRect_(self, rect):
        context = NSGraphicsContext.currentContext().graphicsPort()
        Quartz.whatever()

here the import happens to be called only once per class and Quartz is 
global to the whole file. Still it is not elegant but I can live with it

cheers,
