Importing module with name given as a variable

[Bruno Desthuilliers]

Sean Davis a écrit :

What is the "best practice" for importing an arbitrary module given
that the name is stored in a variable? The context is a simple web
application with URL dispatching to a module and function. I know of
__import__(), the imp module, and exec. For each of these, is there a
way to make them work "just like" the normal import call?

IIRC, this is documented in the __import__ function's doc.
