I am trying to do from /path/module import function, but my path to the module is stored inside of a variable, and I can't change that. How can I work around this then and get this import to work? It is imperative that I import only the function.

I would like something like

from path_variable import function

where path_variable is the path to my python script that I am extracting the function from.

Or, in short: `importlib.import_module(path_variable)` – spectras May 17 '17 at 16:09
There is a function named `import_string` in `werkzeug`. – stamaimer May 17 '17 at 16:10

How do I use 'from /path/module import function' where my /path/module is stored inside of a variable in python?
