    For dynamically importing classes from a module based on the mapping within 
    settings.py
    
    Eg. calling import_module('product.models') will search INSTALLED_APPS for
    the relevant product app (default is 'oscar.product') and then import the
    classes from there.  If the class can't be found in the overriding module, 
    then we attempt to import it from within oscar.  
    
    We search the INSTALLED_APPS list to find the appropriate app string and 
    import that.
    
    This is very similar to django.db.models.get_model although that is only 
    for loading models while this method will load any class.
