The Smuggler
Sidestep import
and load Python files as relative paths.
Intended for one-off imports (e.g. global configuration). Currently, thesmuggler
can't import files that import other local packages, but you can thesmuggle
files that
have already smuggled other files.
Tested and working on Python 2.7 and up.
Usage
pip install thesmuggler
, then:
from thesmuggler import smuggle
# À la `import weapons`
weapons = smuggle('weapons.py')
# À la `from contraband import drugs, alcohol`
drugs, alcohol = smuggle('drugs', 'alcohol', source='contraband.py')
# À la `from contraband import drugs as dope, alcohol as booze`
dope, booze = smuggle('drugs', 'alcohol', source='contraband.py')
