[Jython-users] load_module() in Jython

[Gerry W. <gw...@po...>]

HI,
I have successfully used CPython's imp.load_module() in the past to load 
Python code on the fly.  This has been invaluable for lots of reasons 
including the ability to introduce modules dynamically into a running system. 
 The same code will not work with Jython because Jython lacks the 
imp.load_module() method, and the comment for the module states that the 
methods implemented there are those that, in the writer's words, "can" be 
implemented under J(P)ython.  Is this true?

I would appreciate any help in doing what the CPython load_module() provides 
under Jython.  I'm sure that my lack of knowledge of Jython's import code is 
the problem - there's probably a solution so easy that I'm not even seeing 
it.  The archives don't seem to have anything related.  The import-sig 
postings haven't helped yet.  
On bended knee (!),
Gerry
