You can write an import hook in any way you like; see <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0302/> . Here's a trivial example (bereft of much error checking, etc). I've uploaded to http://www.aleax.it/foo.py a toy module w/contents: def foo(): return 'foo' Here's a tiny program to import said module from my site: import urllib2, sys, new theurl = 'http://www.aleax.it/' class Examp(object): names = set([ 'foo', ]) def find_module(self, fullname, path=None): if fullname not in self.names: return None self.foo = urllib2.urlopen(theurl+fullname+'.py') return self def load_module(self, fullname): module = sys.modules.setdefault(fullname, new.module(fullname)) module.__file__ = fullname module.__loader__ = self exec self.foo.read() in module.__dict__ return module def hooker(pathitem): print 'hooker %r' % pathitem if pathitem.startswith(theurl): return Examp() raise ImportError sys.path_hooks.append(hooker) sys.path.append(theurl) import foo print foo.foo() Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
