importlib
--- Convenience wrappers for __import__()
New in version 2.7.
This module is a minor subset of what is available in the more full-featured
package of the same name from Python 3.1 that provides a complete
implementation of import
. What is here has been provided to
help ease in transitioning from 2.7 to 3.1.
importlib.import_module(name, package=None)[source]
Import a module. The name argument specifies what module to
import in absolute or relative terms
(e.g. either pkg.mod
or ..mod
). If the name is
specified in relative terms, then the package argument must be
specified to the package which is to act as the anchor for resolving the
package name (e.g. import_module('..mod', 'pkg.subpkg')
will import
pkg.mod
). The specified module will be inserted into
sys.modules
and returned.
