@ -13,20 +13,8 @@ Importing Modules
single: __all__ (package variable)
single: modules (in module sys)
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyImport_ImportModuleEx` below,
leaving the *globals* and *locals* arguments set to ``NULL`` and *level* set
to 0. When the *name*
argument contains a dot (when it specifies a submodule of a package), the
*fromlist* argument is set to the list ``['*']`` so that the return value is the
named module rather than the top-level package containing it as would otherwise
be the case. (Unfortunately, this has an additional side effect when *name* in
fact specifies a subpackage instead of a submodule: the submodules specified in
the package's ``__all__`` variable are loaded.) Return a new reference to the
imported module, or ``NULL`` with an exception set on failure. A failing
import of a module doesn't leave the module in :data:`sys.modules`.
This function always uses absolute imports.
This is a wrapper around :c:func:`PyImport_Import()` which takes a
:c:expr:`const char *` as an argument instead of a :c:expr:`PyObject *`.
