Question

from os import listdir
modo= [name.split(".py")[0] for name in listdir("scripts") if name.endswith(".py")]
modules = {}
for modu in modo:
    modules[modu] = __import__(modu)
test_samp.function("test") 

Hello!
If, say “test_samp.py” exists in the scripts directory, why does
this not allow me to run test_samp.function(“test”)?
It returns:

Unhandled exception in thread started by <function function at 0x8e39204>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_this.py", line 6, in function
    test_samp.function("test")  
NameError: global name 'test_samp' is not defined

Answer 1

Your are not defining test_samp you are defining modules['test_samp']. Plus if it’s in scripts you need to import scripts.test_samp

in yor case use a package.Add an empty (or not) __init__.py (with 2 underscores). and use import scripts. Access your function with scripts.test_samp.function("test"). And you could use reload(scripts) to reload all of the package.
