Hi,
I want to do something like the following, which doesn't work:
modulename = 'module'
import modulename
The error is that there is no module named 'modulename'. Is there a
way to get that variable expanded?
Regards,
Steven

STeVe,
may I ask you for more details on this?
Any disadvantages while using exec()
in this context?
I try to avoid using any of the
__xxxx__() functions if possible
(considering this a good
programming style).

This is never good style, at least in the case of exec. exec is evil.
What works (beware that the below code is nevertheless untested and might
contain little warts) and is the "usual" and clean way to go:
### libinfo/__init__.py
# Empty.
### libinfo/Module1.py
def libinfo():
return "I am module1."
CFLAGS = ["-DMODULE1"]
### libinfo/Module2.py
def libinfo():
return "I am module2."
CFLAGS = ["-DMODULE2"]
### Importer.py
modules = {}
CFLAGS = []
def load_modules(to _load=["module1","modu le2"]):
global modules, CFLAGS
for mod in to_load:
try:
modules[mod] = getattr(__impor t__("libinfo.%s " % mod),mod)
except ImportError:
print "Could not load %s." % mod
continue
print "Module: %s (%r)." % (mod,modules[mod])
print "Modules libinfo: %r." % modules[mod].libinfo()
CFLAGS += modules[mod].CFLAGS
print "Total CFLAGS: %s." % CFLAGS
if __name__ == "__main__":
load_modules()
print "Module container: %s." % modules
### End Importer.py
HTH!

Avoiding exec (which is a statement, not a function) is much more
important. Since it executes arbitrary code, you can get unpredictable
results from it. z = "sys; print 'w00t'"
exec "import " + z
w00t
Consider the case where z = "shutil; shutil.rmtree('/')"

Between the following two recipes, it seems unlikely that a simple
"No" is really correct: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Coo.../Recipe/223972 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Coo.../Recipe/307772
A variation on some of the code therein should certainly be
able to do the equivalent of "from xx import *". (The addition
of support for __all__ is at least required for full emulation.)

I'd like a way to import modules at the point where I need the

eliminate a step in my coding process. Currently, my process is I
change code and later scan my changes to make matching changes to the
import statements. The scan step is error prone and time consuming.
By importing inline, I'd be able to change code without the extra scan...

Question: I have Python modules named without '.py' as the extension,
and I'd like to be able to import them. How can I do that?
Background:
On Unix, I write programs intended to be run as commands to a file
with no extension. This allows other programs to use the command as an
interface, and I can re-write the program in some other language

Now 2.5 is out, and we have a syntax for explicit relative imports
(PEP 328, http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0328/, in case anyone

import syntax becomes absolute import only, so that all imports are

You can only use relative import from within packages. Trying to
