Dear friends,
I am trying to import a function in a module by variable name. The specific
example is that my function allows the user to select which function my code
will use (in this case, which optimizer in scipy). There is a default for a
named variable. I have thing working in a quite unclean way- I import them all
and then look them up in globals. I'm not trying to clean it up.
Essentially I'd like to
method = 'newton_krylov'
chosen_optimize_func = (from scipy.optimize import method)
Of course, even I know this shouldn't work. What I tried is
solver_method = __import__('scipy.optimize.' + method, fromlist=[''])
which yields:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ModuleNotFoundError
Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-28-f58650552981> in <module>()
----> 1 solver_method = __import__('scipy.optimize.' + method, fromlist=[''])
ModuleNotFoundError
: No module named 'scipy.optimize.newton_krylov'
Well, no, it's not a module but a function.
Any thoughts on how to do this?
Thank You- Joe
