Import Python modules straight from the cloud (e.g. GitHub) at runtime!

Installation

  • pip: pip install cloud_import
  • no pip: copy cloud_import.py into your project

Usage

See examples/example1.py

Why?

This can be used to entirely skip the "deployment" step for internal tooling, that's not meant for distribution or public usage.

Originally by James Murphy - check out his video "You won't believe it! Import from the Cloud"

Limitations

  • No dependency handling
  • Fixed URL structure: the source code for module foo.bar must be accessible at <url>/foo/bar/*.py
  • Bad things will happen if the cloud source code changes while a package (with multiple modules) is being imported

A note on package security

PyPI is a repository for distributing packages, not a service for auditing them. While third-party security researchers and our staff do their best to detect and remove malicious packages, PyPI cannot guarantee the quality, security or suitability of any given package.
