python import module or namespace from namepsace variable ?

[volcano63]

@volcano63

can you write a function like function (get_module_from_name_psace) in my first reply

Took me about 5 minutes to figure out -

In [1]: import importlib

In [2]: import robot

In [3]: importlib.import_module('robot.errors')
Out[3]: <module 'robot.errors' from '/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/robot/errors.py'>

In [4]: robot.__name__
Out[4]: 'robot'

you most probably don't have robot package, but the principle applies, errors is a module of the robot package

Importlib is one of the most complicated (if not the most complicated)
if you wish to explore, here's a video by the guy that rewrote it http://pyvideo.org/pycon-us-2013/how-import-works.html
It is complicated by necessity, and was worse before the rewrite.
