This module provides utilities for importing Python objects by name.

Modules

• inspect
• types

Functions

dir_object(name, sort_order, need_docstrings=True)

force_lazy_import(name)

Import any modules off of "name" by iterating a new list rather than a generator so that this
library works with lazy imports.

import_module(name)

Imports a Python module assuming that the whole *name* identifies only a
Python module and no symbol inside a Python module.

import_object(name)

Like #import_object_with_scope() but returns only the object.

import_object_with_scope(name)

Imports a Python object by an absolute identifier.

# Arguments
name (str): The name of the Python object to import.

# Returns
(any, Module): The object and the module that contains it. Note that
  for plain modules loaded with this function, both elements of the
  tuple may be the same object.

import_module

pydocmk2.imp.import_module = import_module(name)

Imports a Python module assuming that the whole *name* identifies only a
Python module and no symbol inside a Python module.

import_object

pydocmk2.imp.import_object = import_object(name)

Like #import_object_with_scope() but returns only the object.

import_object_with_scope

pydocmk2.imp.import_object_with_scope = import_object_with_scope(name)

Imports a Python object by an absolute identifier.

# Arguments
name (str): The name of the Python object to import.

# Returns
(any, Module): The object and the module that contains it. Note that
  for plain modules loaded with this function, both elements of the
  tuple may be the same object.

force_lazy_import

pydocmk2.imp.force_lazy_import = force_lazy_import(name)

Import any modules off of "name" by iterating a new list rather than a generator so that this
library works with lazy imports.
