Reference

import

__import__(name, globals=None, locals=None, fromlist=(), level=0)

Programmatic importing of modules should use import_module() instead of this function.

If you simply want to import a module (potentially within a package) by name, use importlib.import_module().

import_module

importlib.import_module(name, package=None)

• acts as a simplifying wrapper around importlib.__import__().
