Dynamic module import in Python

I have a list of modules, like so:

modules = ['ModuleA', 'ModuleB', 'ModuleC']

Each .py for the module resides in a subdirectory that I’ve added to the include paths. What I’m looking for is a way to load the modules and build a list of references to said loaded modules.

This should answer your question:

references = map(__import__, modules)

or if you prefer dictionary with modules’ names as keys:

references = dict(zip(modules, map(__import__, modules)))

Does it answer your question?
