Smuggler 🚬

Sidestep import and load Python files as relative paths.

Intended for one-off imports (e.g. global configuration). Currently, smuggler can't import files that import other local packages, but you can smuggle files that have already smuggled other files.

Tested and working on Python 2.7 and up.

Usage

pip install smuggler, then:

from smuggler import smuggle

# À la `import weapons`
weapons = smuggle('weapons.py')

# À la `from contraband import drugs, alcohol`
drugs, alcohol = smuggle('drugs', 'alcohol', source='contraband.py')

# À la `from contraband import drugs as dope, alcohol as booze`
dope, booze = smuggle('drugs', 'alcohol', source='contraband.py')
