I am trying to dynamically install PyDev package at runtime. I have a PyDev project created in eclipse. I have a PyDev package on network location. Based on some configuration and input in my PyDev project, I want to install and load the PyDev package from network location. The classes contained in modules within this package will be used later. How can I install the regular(PyDev package) at runtime?. Is it possible to install the package at runtime? To which location I have to add this package ? project root directory or sys.path?
What I had done: I had created the PyDev package inside my project root directory. Then import the module in the package dynamically. from pydoc import locate #package already created/installed within the project root def load(self): myclass = locate('package.module.classname') #importing module dynamically instance = myclass() what I need to do: from pydoc import locate #package not yet installed within the project root def load(self): # install the module first from given network path? how? myclass = locate('package.module.classname') #importing module dynamically instance = myclass() -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
