How do you import a file in python with spaces in the name?

Question

Do I have to take out all the spaces in the file name to import it, or is there some way of telling import that there are spaces?

Answer 1

If you want to do something like from foo_bar import * (but with a space instead of an underscore), you can use execfile (docs here):

execfile("foo bar.py")

though it's better practice to avoid spaces in source file names.
