pydoc.safeimport()¶

pydoc.safeimport(path, forceload=0, cache={})[source]¶

Import a module; handle errors; return None if the module isn’t found.

If the module is found but an exception occurs, it’s wrapped in an ErrorDuringImport exception and reraised. Unlike __import__, if a package path is specified, the module at the end of the path is returned, not the package at the beginning. If the optional ‘forceload’ argument is 1, we reload the module from disk (unless it’s a dynamic extension).
