String in dotted notation that failed to be imported.

import_string.base.import_string(import_name, silent=False)

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 (xml.sax.saxutils.escape) or with a colon as object delimiter (xml.sax.saxutils:escape). If silent is True the return value will be None if the import fails. :param import_name: the dotted name for the object to import. :param silent: if set to True import errors are ignored and

None is returned instead.

Returns:imported object
