Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: To be a little clearer, this is about dotted import names, not regular dotted names. pydoc.locate(path, forceload=0): """Locate an object by name or dotted path, importing as necessary""" pydoc.resolve(thing, forceload=0): """Given an object or a path to an object, get the object and its name."""
It is not completely clear to me how this is different from using __import__ but I will believe it is.
