Question: Dynamic code import

[Károly Ladvánszky]

Being really new in the Pyhton world, I'm not sure what else than text files
(.py) could come into view.
To put it simple, I'd like to have a def  f11(a)  in a file and read it in
and use f11 like the functions in the
running script. Its something else than using 'import' as the file may not
be existent at all when the script
starts running. In Lisp, the 'load' function does this.

Hmmm... Not quite sure what you mean. Is it in a Python file, a text
file, ??

If it's in a Python file you can just import the module and assign to
the variable as before, if it's in a text file you'd need to use eval or
exec. Let us know which it is and I'm sure we could come up with
examples... :-)
