Message: [QUOTE="Carsten Haese, post: 2897281"] Why would you need to do that? What are you planning to do when you have determined that the module doesn't exist? Surely you're not planning on swallowing the error silently, because that would make your program very hard to debug. The Pythonic response is to raise an exception, but then you might as well just propagate the exception that __import__ already raises: .... func = getattr(__import__(module_string1), func_string2) .... return func(*args) .... Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "<stdin>", line 2, in myfunc ImportError: No module named asdf Hope this helps, [/QUOTE]
