import_string 0.1.0

Features

Imports an object based on a string. This is useful if you want to use import paths as endpoints or something similar. An import path can be specified either in dotted notation (.) or with a colon as object delimiter (:). If silent is True the return value will be None if the import fails.

Usage

import import_string

module = import_string('my_system.my_package.my_module')

function = import_string('my_system.my_module:some_function')

Class = import_string('my_system.my_module:SomeClass', silent=True)
# If path doesn't exist Class = None
