Hi, Using exec or eval ISN'T what should be done ever. When you have troubles importing you should :
- Add some repository to your sys.path and/or - Use the buildin import method and/or - Use Mr Eby's Importing module (http://python.org/pypi/Importing) Regards, Laurent hg a écrit : > Hi, > > I have the following problem. > > I find in a directory hierarchy some files following a certain sets of > rules: > > .../.../../plugin/name1/name1.py > .... > .../.../../plugin/namen/namen.py > > each file will in turn have a class with the same name as the filename > (minus .py) > > > I fetch those names in a list of string and want to import the files / > instantiate the classes. > > > I block at the beginning and tried this (test.py is a real file) >>>> s = 'test.py' >>>> eval ('import ' + s) > > and get > > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in -toplevel- > eval ('import ' + s) > File "<string>", line 1 > import test.py > > Any clue ? > > Thanks > > hg > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
