Importing module which contains Dot

Posted: Jan 7, 2005 12:04 AM

I'm trying to import a module containing dot in the filename, the pyton will report a syntax error.

eg: " import abc.1.2 " for the abc.1.2.py

How can i import it without renaming the file? Thanks.

Interesting...

You can use the 'imp' module to import modules by filename:

>>> import imp
>>> open_file, file_name, description = imp.find_module('foo.bar')
>>> foo_bar = imp.load_module('foo.bar', open_file, file_name, description)
>>> foo_bar
<module 'foo.bar' from 'foo.bar.py'>

Voilla.
