Dynamically import a method in a file, from a string
问题 I have a string, say: abc.def.ghi.jkl.myfile.mymethod . How do I dynamically import mymethod ? Here is how I went about it: def get_method_from_file(full_path): if len(full_path) == 1: return map(__import__,[full_path[0]])[0] return getattr(get_method_from_file(full_path[:-1]),full_path[-1]) if __name__=='__main__': print get_method_from_file('abc.def.ghi.jkl.myfile.mymethod'.split('.')) I am wondering if the importing individual modules is required at all. Edit: I am using Python version 2.6
