Mart Sõmermaa <m...@mrts.pri.ee> added the comment: A pointer for people who keep referring to this bug -- after discussions, the following idiom was selected as the "official" way to import modules by name in 2.x (as seen in latest 2.x docs http://docs.python.org/dev/library/functions.html#__import__ ).
--- If you simply want to import a module (potentially within a package) by name, you can get it from sys.modules: >>> import sys >>> name = 'foo.bar.baz' >>> __import__(name) <module 'foo' from ...> >>> baz = sys.modules[name] >>> baz <module 'foo.bar.baz' from ...> _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2090> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
