Imports an object based on a string
- Free software: ISC license
- Documentation: https://import-string.readthedocs.io.
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
