stringimporter

stringimporter lets you import raw string as real Python modules

How to use

You can read the tests (in tests directory) or copy the following code.

import stringimporter

module_from_thin_air = """
def multiply_by_2():
    return lambda x: 2*x"""

loader, mymodule = stringimporter.import_str('yihaaa', module_from_thin_air)

hello_2 = mymodule.multiply_by_2()("hello ")

Compatibility

Python 3. I don't know (yet?) how to emulate importlib.abc.SourceLoader on Python 2.7.
