Dynamically importing Python module
It looks like this should do the trick: importing a dynamically generated module
>>> import imp>>> foo = imp.new_module("foo")>>> foo_code = """... class Foo:... pass... """>>> exec foo_code in foo.__dict__>>> foo.Foo.__module__'foo'>>>Also, as suggested in the ActiveState article, you might want to add your new module to sys.modules:
>>> import sys>>> sys.modules["foo"] = foo>>> from foo import Foo<class 'Foo' …>>>>
Here's something I bookmarked a while back that covers something similar:
It's a bit beyond what you want, but the basic idea is there.

import impmy_dynamic_module = imp.new_module("my_dynamic_module")exec("""class Foo: pass""", my_dynamic_module.__dict__)Foo = my_dynamic_module.Foofoo_object = Foo()# register it on sysimport syssys.modules[my_dynamic_module.__name__] = my_dynamic_module
