I am trying to make it so when this runs it runs the newest version in the list.
Here is the directory I want:
ClockOS:
bootLoader.py (the file I am starting at)
Versions:
Version 0.1.1:
main.py (Ignore because tis an older version)
Version 0.1.2:
main.py (The one I want to run/import)
I have tried loading through os.dir
, and using sys.path
, and adding an empty __init__.py
Anyone know how to get this working?
My code:
import os
import re
import sys
versionList = []
for filename in os.listdir('Versions'):
if filename.startswith('Version'):
versionList.append(filename)
print(f"Loaded {filename}")
def major_minor_micro(version):
major, minor, micro = re.search('(\d )\.(\d )\.(\d )', version).groups()
return int(major), int(minor), int(micro)
latest = str(max(versionList, key=major_minor_micro))
print("Newest Version: ", latest)
os.path.dirname('Versions/' str(latest))
sys.path.insert(1, latest)
print(sys.path)
import main
Lastly, I need this to work on both windows and linix, if that's possible.
CodePudding user response:
You need to use importlib
to do what you want. Here is an example on how to import my_function
from a file:
spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location('some_module_name', filename)
mod = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
spec.loader.exec_module(mod)
mod.my_function(1)
Probably the question is a duplicate of Import arbitrary python source file. (Python 3.3 )
