Dynamic class loading in Python 2.6: RuntimeWarning: Parent module 'plugins' not found while handling absolute import

Question

I am working on a plugin system where plugin modules are loaded like this:

def load_plugins():
   plugins=glob.glob(\"plugins/*.py\")
   instances=[]
   for         


        

Answer 1

The problem here is with the dot ('.') in the module name:

imp.load_module('plugins.'+name, f, file, desc)

Don't include a '.' after 'plugins', or Python will think it's a module path.
