Pass a module into variable in python

To import a module from a name in a variable, use importlib (see python docs)

For example:

import importlib
import os.path as p
x = p.__name__
q = importlib.import_module(x)

Of course, this example is silly because q ends up as with the same value as p, but it demonstrates the syntax. Please provide more detail if this is not what you want.

Another option is to use exec, as in this other post

I don't know if it will help you, but you could consider the importlib module: it allows to make dynamic import like:

from importlib import import_module

module_names = ["Pop1", "Pop2", ...]

def foo():
    for name in module_names:
        module = import_module(name, "Variant")
        module.mid(...)

It is, but this is not a good example of how to import modules, it's a bad practice.

This is exactly what you want to do, but better.

from Variant.Pop1 import mid as x

def my_func(var):
   # do something

my_func(x)

Example:

from random import choice as x

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4]

def my_func(var):
    return var(my_list)

print(my_func(x))

You can use importlib. The import specification is like a directory structure using "." to step through module names. A module keeps its "directory name" in __package__. So,

import importlib
import Variant
x = Variant.Pop1
mid = importlib.import_module(".".join(x.__package, "mid"))
