61 | The following function emulates what was the standard import statement | |
62 | up to Python 1.4 (no hierarchical module names). (This | |
63 | <em>implementation</em> wouldn't work in that version, since | |
64 | <tt class="function">find_module()</tt> has been extended and | |
65 | <tt class="function">load_module()</tt> has been added in 1.4.) | |
66 | ||
67 | <P> | |
68 | <div class="verbatim"><pre> | |
69 | import imp | |
70 | import sys | |
71 | ||
72 | def __import__(name, globals=None, locals=None, fromlist=None): | |
73 | # Fast path: see if the module has already been imported. | |
74 | try: | |
75 | return sys.modules[name] | |
76 | except KeyError: | |
77 | pass | |
78 | ||
79 | # If any of the following calls raises an exception, | |
80 | # there's a problem we can't handle -- let the caller handle it. | |
81 | ||
82 | fp, pathname, description = imp.find_module(name) | |
83 | ||
84 | try: | |
85 | return imp.load_module(name, fp, pathname, description) | |
86 | finally: | |
87 | # Since we may exit via an exception, close fp explicitly. | |
88 | if fp: | |
89 | fp.close() | |

92 | <P> | |
93 | A more complete example that implements hierarchical module names and | |
94 | includes a <tt class="function">reload()</tt><a id='l2h-723' xml:id='l2h-723'></a> function can be | |
95 | found in the module <tt class="module">knee</tt><a id='l2h-724' xml:id='l2h-724'></a>. The | |
96 | <tt class="module">knee</tt> module can be found in <span class="file">Demo/imputil/</span> in the | |
97 | Python source distribution. | |
