How can I load a module when I will only know the name 'on the fly'

[Tobiah]

m = get_next_module()

some_nice_function_somehow_loads( m )

Thanks,

Tobiah

m = get_next_module()

some_nice_function_somehow_loads( m )

that'd be

mymodule = __import__('modulename')

use built-in function: __import__

m = __import__('sys', globals())
print m.platform
