Almost certainly a bad idea, but FWIW it is possible, using the
__import__ builtin:

# mkdir "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/this module has a space"

# echo "print('hello world')" > "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/this
module has a space/__init__.py"

# ls /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/this\ module\ has\ a\
space/__init__.py 
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/this module has a space/__init__.py

# python -c "__import__('this module has a space')"
hello world

But yeah, don't do that :)
