I have a string which contains the name of a library that I want to import. How can I import that library dynamically?

For example:

library = "mylibrary"

you can use python default function __import__ to import modules.

mod = __import__(module)

but path of this module need to be appended in sys.path 

sys.path.insert(0, <path of module>)
