Function that imports modules

Question

Hello, community!

I wanted to write a program (Python) that includes a function with a module name as an argument. So if the user inputs a module name, the function would import it.
I tried it, but the argument of that function is not assigned to the method name of the 'import <method name>' line.

I hope it's kinda clear what I mean :)

I wish you all a nice weekend!

Answer 1

i am not sure that is possible and why would you do that, function is not using for import modules

Answer 2

You can do it, but you need to use the __import__() function instead of use the import statement:
