using import with filename starting by a number followed by underscore

[SpongeB0B]

Hi everyone,

I have a file who is named 16_module.py

I would like to use some function from it. So i use import within my current script file

import 16_module

but this is not working as python see it as a number with an ending thousand separator

so I use instead

importlib.import_module('16_module')

The import seem working but I cannot call it later on

print(16_module.myfunction())

Output:
invalid decimal literal

same problem here the thoushand separator..

I tried

importlib.import_module('16_module') as test

but this is not accepting the AS ....

any ideas ?
