How can I import a module dynamically given the full path?
You can use the importlib.import_module
function to import a module dynamically given the full path to the module. For example:
import importlib
module_path = '/path/to/module.py'
module_name = 'module'
module = importlib.import_module(module_name, package=module_path)
This will import the module located at /path/to/module.py
, and the module will be bound to the module
variable.
You can then use module
just like any other module that you imported using the import
statement.
import importlib
module_path = '/path/to/module.py'
module_name = 'module'
module = importlib.import_module(module_name, package=module_path)
x = module.some_function()
Note that the importlib.import_module
function requires the module_name
to be specified as a string, and the module_path
must be specified as the package
parameter.
