import from a string

[iu2]

Hi,

Having a file called funcs.py, I would like to read it into a string,
and then import from that string.
That is instead of importing from the fie system, I wonder if it's
possible to eval the text in the string and treat it as a module.

For example

with file('funcs.py') as f: txt = r.read()
string_import(txt, 'funcs')  # is string_import possible?

to have now a module called funcs with the functions defined in
funcs.py.

Thanks
