I get the following error. Is there a way to eval import?
>>> eval('import os')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<string>", line 1
import os

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

2Use `importlib` like `os = importlib.import_module('os')` – Ashwani Aug 30 '19 at 22:44

Use `exec`, not `eval`. – Barmar Aug 30 '19 at 22:46

The same reason you can't write `x = import os` – Barmar Aug 30 '19 at 22:46
