This module is a minor subset of what is available in the more full-featured
|
||
|
|
package of the same name from Python 3.1 that provides a complete
|
||
|
|
implementation of :keyword:`import`. What is here has been provided to
|
||
|
|
help ease in transitioning from 2.7 to 3.1.

.. function:: import_module(name, package=None)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Import a module. The *name* argument specifies what module to
|
||
|
|
import in absolute or relative terms
|
||
|
|
(e.g. either ``pkg.mod`` or ``..mod``). If the name is
|
||
|
|
specified in relative terms, then the *package* argument must be
|
||
|
|
specified to the package which is to act as the anchor for resolving the
|
||
|
|
package name (e.g. ``import_module('..mod', 'pkg.subpkg')`` will import
|
||
|
|
``pkg.mod``). The specified module will be inserted into
|
||
|
|
:data:`sys.modules` and returned.
