python import module or namespace from namepsace variable ? - harun2525 - May-23-2017
this is very important to me, i want import a module or package (namespace) from another namespace variable.
example
import mydir # imports namepace
module_foo = get_module_from_name_space("foo", namespace = mydir) # imports foo module from mydir. that means from mydir import foo expression but I must import foo in that way, with this function.
print(module_foo == mydir.foo) # prints Truethanks.is there a function like get_module_from_name_space ?

you should be able to do this with importlib
You'll have to read the docs, I have used it, but it's been a while
If you look at my github account: https://github.com/Larz60p/PyHarry
module HarryHelp.py i use it there
you may also be able to use pkgutil

@Larz60+,
sorry, i couldn't find the function I am looking for in your HarryHelp.py file
can you post this function to here ?

Try here: importlib, there are even some examples.

@sparkz_alot
I tried too many times with importlib module

given https://python-forum.io/Thread-python-How-to-import-All-modules-from-namespace I think it's a matter of proper organising the package (i.e. __init__.py, etc.) and understanding the import mechanism rather than using some complicated import scheme.
i even think the two threads should be merged

the python import system soooooooooooooooo bad,

Maybe this will help?
importlib keep on changing - and remain being scantily (understatement of the century 
) documented

@volcano63
can you write a function like function (get_module_from_name_psace) in my first reply

is it really bad or simply you don't understand it?
given the folder structure in the other thread a __init__.py and __all__ property in it would allow you to do star import. Not that is a good practice :-)
