Question

My application must be able to call extern

Answer 1

Use __import__ to import the files provided by the user. This function will return a module. Use that to call the functions from the imported file.

Use try..except both on __import__ and on the actual call to catch errors.

Example:

m = None
try:
    m = __import__("external_module")
except:
    # invalid module - show error
if m:
    try:
        m.user_defined_func()
    except:
        # some error - display it
