Hi,
I want to import a module upon instantiation (not definition) of a class. What
is the best way to do this? In my case, I need the "icu" module in only one
place/class of the program. If that class won't be used, I don't want to have
an ImportError. Also, it might be nice to do the imports only when you actually
need that functionality. It's probably not really PEP-compliant to put the
imports somewhere else than at the top of the module, but I can live with that.
import some_nonbuiltin # I don't want it here!
class KlassA(object):
import some_nonbuiltin # nope
def __init__(self):
some_nonbuiltin = __import__("some_nonbuiltin") # idem
x = some_nonbuiltin.blah()
class KlassB(object):
"""some_nonbuiltin not needed here! """
def __init__(self):
pass
Regards,
Albert-Jan

All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public
order, irrigation, roads, a
fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
