Loading module via full path

Hi all.

Is there a way to load a module given a full path to the module
without extending sys.path first?

The standard module named "imp" can help you with this.

Ok. imp.find_module () and imp.load_module () seem to do what I need.

Thank you. I got stuck on http://docs.python.org/api/importing.html
(as I need it to be called from C(++)) and found no way to specify a path there
[and there aren't too many cross references in the python docs *sigh*]

I have now something similar to

class CPyObject
{
public:
explicit CPyObject(PyObj ect * pObject) : m_pObject(pObje ct) { /*Check();*/ }
~CPyObject() { Py_XDECREF(m_pO bject); }
operator PyObject *() { return m_pObject; }
private:
CPyObject(const CPyObject &); // intentionally not implemented
void operator=(const CPyObject &); // intentionally not implemented
PyObject * m_pObject;
};

static PyObject * LoadModule(cons t char * mod, const char * path)
{
CPyObject pyImpModule ( PyImport_Import (PyString_FromS tring("imp")) );

CPyObject pyImpFindModule Func ( PyObject_GetAtt rString(pyImpMo dule, "find_modul e") );
CPyObject pyImpFindModule Args ( Py_BuildValue(" s[s]", mod, path) );
CPyObject pyImpFindModule Res ( PyObject_CallOb ject(pyImpFindM oduleFunc, pyImpFindModule Args) );

CPyObject pyImpLoadModule Func ( PyObject_GetAtt rString(pyImpMo dule, "load_modul e") );
CPyObject pyImpLoadModule Args ( Py_BuildValue(" sOOO",
mod,
PyTuple_GetItem (pyImpFindModul eRes, 0),
PyTuple_GetItem (pyImpFindModul eRes, 1),
PyTuple_GetItem (pyImpFindModul eRes, 2)
));
return PyObject_CallOb ject(pyImpLoadM oduleFunc, pyImpLoadModule Args);
}

which seems to do what I want even if it looks a bit too verbose for my taste and I
don't know whether I go the reference counting right.

Thanks for the hint,
Andre'

Wondering if anyone can recomend some sample code for dynamically loading the GD module. I have tried setting the extension dir in php.ini, and loading the GD module from there when apache is started, but it won't load. There is also the option of dynamically loading the module at run time of the script. LD() i believe is the call.

I'm trying to run Apache2.2.6 with php. However, I keep getting a long list of error messages in the log file indicating that includes are failing.
