Brian #3: Python: Import by string with pkgutil.resolve_name()

  • Adam Johnson
  • You can use pkgutil.resolve_name("[HTML_REMOVED]:[HTML_REMOVED]")to import classes, functions or modules using strings.
  • You can also use importlib.import_module("[HTML_REMOVED]")
  • Both of these techniques are so that you have an object imported, but the end thing isn’t imported into the local namespace.
