python导入特定文件

Question

trying to import a specific file called environment.py the issue is that I have this file in more than one location the way i'm loading all my file variables (more than 20 variables in each file) is :

from environment import *

the thing is , I have the environment.py in 2 directories and my sys.path includes both of them. python loads the file from the first location in the list.

Tried

import os, sys, imp
path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
file = path + '/environment.py'
foo = imp.load_source('*',file)

But then my variables are loaded into foo and not directly.

Any ideas how to force import * from the right location

Answer 1

If you want to continue with what you started and this is in the global scope, you could add this to the end:

for varName in dir(foo):
    globals()[varName] = getattr(foo, varName)

Now all of the variables that were defined in environment.py are in your global namespace.

Although it's probably easier to just do what Tom Karzes suggested and do:

import os, sys
sys.path.insert(0, path)
from environment import *

# Optional. Probably harmless to leave it in your path.
del sys.path[0]

Answer 2

Put it in a module

/module
    __init__.py
    environment.py

That way you can call

from module.environment import *

And there should be no issue having two modules with environment.py in them, the only difference being the import call. Is that what you mean?
