Question

How can I make this import:

from module import *

with imp module?

Disclaimer:

• I need use imp module because I need make several statements and I want to do it dynamicly
• I need use * because I need that in the file I made the import, the variables and methods defined in module be available directly, i mean without module.method or module.variable. And I want import all variables and methods in the module because I don’t know what methods or variables can be in the module in the future

Here!

def load_everything_from(module_names):
    g = globals()
    for module_name in module_names:
        m = __import__(module_name)
        names = getattr(m, '__all__', None)
        if names is None:
            names = [name for name in dir(m) if not name.startswith('_')]
        for name in names:
            g[name] = getattr(m, name)

I am kind of making things up there a little bit with trying to find an __all__ symbol first and then, if that files, doing a dir() and grabbing symbols that look non-private — you would have to look at the implementation of import * to know if that resembles Python’s actual logic closely enough for your purposes.
