importCodeFromFile(codeFile, name, add_to_sys_modules=0)

Import dynamically generated code as a module. code is the object containing the code (a string, a file handle or an actual compiled code object, same types as accepted by an exec statement). The name is the name to give to the module, and the final argument says whether to add it to sys.modules or not. If it is added, a subsequent import statement using name will return this module. If it is not added to sys.modules import will try to load it in the normal fashion.

import foo

is equivalent to

foofile = open("/path/to/foo.py") foo = importCode(foofile,"foo",1)

Returns a newly generated module.
