Hi all,
I have a script responsible for loading and executing scripts on a
daily basis. Something like this:
import time
t = time.gmtime()
filename = t[0] + '-' + t[1] + '-' + t[2] + '.py'
import filename
So, I have a module with an arbitrary file name and I want to load it,
and later access its function definitions.
How can I do this ? In my example, the last line will obviously not
work. 10 2650

The first one __import__ should do the trick.

execfile() is probably your best bet:
namespace = {}
execfile(filena me, namespace)
namespace["function"](argument)

I had to do something like this a while back for a modular IRC bot that
I wrote.
__import__() will do the trick, however to avoid getting a cache of the
module I recomend doing something like...
mod = reload( __import__("%s-%s-%s" % ( t[0], t[1], t[2] ) ) ) le***********@g mail.com wrote:

If you want a solution that gives you an actual module object, here's
what I use:
def make_module_fro m_file(module_n ame, file_name):
""" Make a new module object from the code in specified file """
from types import ModuleType
module = ModuleType(modu le_name)
module_file = open(file_name, 'r')
exec module_file in module.__dict__
return module

Isn't that awfully complicated? What's wrong with using __import__ to get
a module object?

<module 'math' from '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/mathmodule.so'>
The only advantage (or maybe it is a disadvantage?) I can see to your
function is that it doesn't search the Python path and you can specify an
absolute file name.

that's the whole point of doing an explicit load, of course. if you
think that's a disadvantage, you haven't done enough plugin work...

Which is exactly what the OP asked for (though he didn't necessarily
need a module object).

I'm not arguing, you could very well be right, but I'm just curious what
part of the OP's post led you to believe he needed to specify an absolute
filename. Unless I'm missing a second post, he certainly never suggested
that his scripts weren't in the Python path, or that he couldn't add their
location to the path.
*shrug* It probably isn't important -- given the constraints as you read
them (extrapolated them?) your solution looks good.
