How to import a module given the full path?

Question

How can I load a Python module given its full path? Note that the file can be anywhere in the filesystem, as it is a configuration option.

Answer 1

def load_module(full_path: str):

from importlib import util

import sys

from os.path import basename

mod_name = basename(full_path).split('.')[0]

spec = util.spec_from_file_location(mod_name, full_path)

module = uitl.module_from_spec(spec)

sys.modules[mod_name] = module

spec.loader.exec_module(module)
