importing module with name of variable from another script?

Question

current_code = dsajJasndfD is in second file also. I need to import it by using local current_code (it will be changing after every program restart).

So here is my question: How can I import module, when I don't know its, but have it name assigned as local variable?

current_code = dsajJasndfD
import database as db
key_list = list(db.current_code.keys())
value_list = list(db.current_code.values())

• Dawid Gacek: Shouldn't dsajJasndfD be string? Do i get it ok, that it's the name of the other file - the package to be imported?
• Gocht: If I understand, you need import a module named dsajJasndfD?
• Iain Shelvington: importlib is the module you are looking for docs.python.org/3/library/…
• Dawid Gacek: stackoverflow.com/questions/3131217/… The second answer there can serve you the solution for your problem.

Answer 1

This should do the trick:

current_code = "foo.py"
__import__(current_code)
