Python Importlib Module

Import system — import_module, reload, resources, metadata. This category documents 10 Python importlib module entries, and each page gives you the full syntax, the parameter list, the return value, and a runnable example. The entries include: importlib.import_module(), importlib.reload(), importlib.resources.read_text(), importlib.resources.read_binary(), importlib.resources.files(), importlib.util.find_spec(), importlib.metadata.version(), importlib.metadata.metadata(), importlib.metadata.entry_points(), importlib.metadata.distributions(). importlib.import_module() dynamically imports a module by name at runtime (like `import` statement). importlib.reload() re-imports an already imported module (useful for development). importlib.resources.read_text() reads a text file resource from a package. importlib.resources.read_binary() reads a binary file resource from a package. importlib.resources.files() returns a Traversable object representing the package's resources. For a structured walkthrough of the whole topic, read the Importlib Module guide. Importlib Module belongs to the Modules & Metadata group alongside Pkgutil Module, Compileall Module, Zipapp Module, Venv Module.
