importing a module is not intended as a mechanism to execute
code, that should be considered a side-effect or an initialisation
feature.
importing makes code available for use.
Put the code in the modules into functions, then import all the
modules at
the start of your program. Then execute the functions within your
if/else logic.
import two,three
operation = read_from_config_file(filename)
if operation == 0:
two.doTwo()
three.doThree()
else:
print "invalid operation"
That wil, be a more reliable and flexible approach.
In fact you could put all the operations in one module...
