How to import filenames with special characters?

How would I import a python file whose name contains characters like .'s or
!'s?

Is there really _no_ way to do that? I have to use plain jane letters and
numbers for everything?

The import statement can't help you, but take a look at the __import__
builtin function and the standard module named "imp".
