Hi!
pkgutil.walk_packages()
imports all encountered packages, plus it has some drawbacks (https://bugs.python.org/issue14787).
What if I just want to import a single subpackage among a package hierarchy ? I was expecting importlib
to provide a function for searching a subpackage in a hierarchy of packages/modules, but I didn’t find one.
I just discovered importlib
utilities around importlib.machinery.ModuleSpec
, especially its submodule_search_locations
attribute. Is is appropriate to use it for going down the hierarchy, listing packages/modules within each locations - with e.g. os.scandir()
?
