It's possible, but a bit awkward and really ugly, to use __import__ like:
| ${res} = | Evaluate | __import__('math').ceil(${res}/2) |
It would be nicer to have an optional argument that specifies what modules
(separated with comma) to import like:
| ${res} = | Evaluate | math.ceil(${res}/2) | math |
We could also automatically import often used modules like os, sys and
above math.
Implementing this would be really simple since we can pass imported modules
to eval as a namespace dictionary.

Added the possibility to give a list of modules to Evaluate in r1479 (and tests in r1480). This implementation doesn't add any modules to the namespace automatically. Should we do that or not?

We wecided to not add modules into the namespace automatically so this issue is done. Explicit is better than implicit.
Status: Done
