gdesklets __import__ problem

Hi, I'm writing a gdesklets control, that dynamicly uses __import__ and
getattr to get the right classes based on userinput. The problem is, that
my control is somehow being run from somewhere unknown. This means that
__import__ can't find the modules. I tried putting an
os.chdir("~/.gdesklets/Controls/1136298021.06/...") just before the
__import__ call, and that worked, but ofcource isn't very smart in the run.

Is there any way to find out where the control is put on the disk, so that
I can change to the correct folder? Or is there some hack, that allows me
to import the modules without knowing there location?

Programmers should realize their critical importance and responsibility in a
world gone digital. They are in many ways similar to the priests and monks of
Europe's Dark Ages; they are the only ones with the training and insight
to read and interpret the "scripture" of this age.

If this is a FAQ, please let me know where the answer is. I have in some code an 'eval', which I hate, but it's the shortest path to where I need to get at this point. I thought that one way I could harden the enviroment against malicious code would be to temporarily disable the import statement by overloading __import__, but I tried what seemed obvious to me, and it didn't work. What I want do do is something like this:

Dear list, I looked through the list but could not find any solutions for my current problem. Within my program, I am importing a module via __import__(module_name,globals(),locals()) and I want to pass comand line options to this module. I would prefer not to save them in a config module or a Config class but rather use the globals and locals dictionaries

We've recently been doing some profiling on a project of ours. It runs quite fast on Linux but *really* bogs down on Windows 2003. We initially thought it was the simplejson libraries (we don't use the C extensions) but profiling proved otherwise. We have a function that does some runtime imports via calls to __import__. We ran 1000 iterations (we used cProfile) of the application (web app). There were eight calls to __import__ per...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
