Python import file from variable

Question

If I set a variable as the directory from which I will import a file, such as:

a = 'C:\\Users\\Windows 7\\Desktop\\Program10.py

If I try from a import foo, me is given Modulenotfounderror: No module named 'a'.

In context, the variable is set to directory in this loop:

d_user = getpass.getuser()
diret = "C:\\Users\\" + d_user
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(diret):
    if lookfor in files:
        a = join(root, lookfor)
        break

And what I want to do is from a import funcor from a import variab

Answer 1

Try it here:

import sys
sys.path.append(a)

The modules are searched in this order:

• Current directory
• Environment variable PYTHONPATH
• Default installation address

Edit: After paying attention to your code, I believe from a import foo() nay function, remove the parentheses.
