I have a Python module that I want to dynamically import given only a string of the module name. Normally I use importlib or __import__ and this works quite well given that I know which objects I want to import from the module, but is there a way to do the equivalent of import * dynamically. Or is there a better approach?
I know in general its bad practice to use import * but the modules I'm trying to import are automatically generated on the fly and I have no way of knowing the exact module which contains the class I'm addressing.
Thanks.

To load dynamically a module call import(path) as a function with an argument indicating the specifier (aka path) to a module. const module = await import(path) returns a promise that resolves to an object containing the components of the imported module. } = await import(path);
Dynamic imports or Code Splitting is the practice of breaking up your JavaScript modules into smaller bundles and loading them dynamically at runtime to improve and increase the performance of your website dramatically.
You need to use the import keyword along with the desired module name. When interpreter comes across an import statement, it imports the module to your current program. You can use the functions inside a module by using a dot(.) operator along with the module name.
Use update for dicts:
globals().update(importlib.import_module('some.package').__dict__) Note, that using a_module.__dict__ is not the same as from a_module import *, because all names are "imported", not only those from __all__ or not starting with _.
