It should be possible to use importlib for this:
The (newer) risc os port does a whole bunch of stuff in importlib to do this,
as it natively doesn’t use extensions but file types.
I’m not sure if you could do something similar without modifying importlib and
re-freezing it.
As far as I know, it can't be done.
If I was REALLY desperate I might try (tested)
import os
os.rename('myfile.myext', 'myfile.py')
import myfile
os.rename('myfile.py', 'myfile.myext')
# with appropriate modifications if myfile is not in the current directory
but this is a horrible solution,
I have a file with python code but the name doesn't end with the '.py'
suffix.
What is the easiest way to import this code as a module without changing
its name?
