Python Dynamic Import import as

Question

I'm trying to make a python based proof of concept system, and it has a "runcode" command,

I need to import code put into the file to run it, but dynamically, and with an alias

what I need:

import program-name as program

but a version for dynamics like this

__import__(program-name-variable)

but

__import__(program-name-variable) as program

doesn't work

Answer 1

someone found out the obvious answer I somehow missed, it was

program = import (...)

Answer 2

assign the variable with the needed name that you would normally put after "as"

program = __import__(program-name-variable)
