Usage

Importing a module (with statement must be used):

from import_module import ImportModule

with ImportModule("github.com/i96751414/py-dummy"):
    import dummy

print("The output of dummy.call is '{}'".format(dummy.call()))

Output:

The output of dummy.call is 'call'

API

• ImportModule(module, path=None, reload_module=False, use_pip=False)

  Import the specified module. If the module already exists and reload_module is True, then re-import the module. If path is given, the module will be imported to the given path. If use_pip is True, the module will be imported with pip, even if it is a git repository.
