Re: How do I import everything in a subdir?

Hi.
I have a program which I want a plugin directory for. I figured the way to
go about that would be to just add a plugin/ dir to sys.path, and import
everything in it. Then my program can just execute the main() method of
each imported plugin.
Is that a good way to go about it?
If so, how do I import everything in the plugins dir? The method raises an
error as you can see.
Read the directory and then use the __import__() method on each
entry that ends in .py, .pyc or .pyo. Filter for duplicates first or you
may be executing a single plugin more than once.
Don't bother with sys.path unless you want your plugins to be
able to import from that directory as well.

import sys
import os
sys.path.append("plugins")
ls = os.popen("ls plugins").readlines()
for x in ls:
...     plugs.append(x[0:x.rfind(".py")])
for x in plugs:
...     import x
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
