unboil-pywalker 0.1.4

A utility for discovering and importing Python modules in a package or directory.

Usage

Importing all modules

You can import all modules under a given root directory, package, or module:

import mypackage  # your package or module
from pywalker import import_modules
import_modules(mypackage)

Filtering with patterns

You can filter which modules are imported using an fnmatch pattern (or list of patterns):

import mypackage
import_modules(mypackage, patterns='utils*')
import_modules(mypackage, patterns=['core*', 'utils*'])

Walking modules without importing

To just get the module names (without importing them):

import mypackage
from pywalker import walk_modules
for name in walk_modules(mypackage, patterns='*test*'):
    print(name)

Pattern argument

The patterns argument uses Unix shell-style wildcards (see Python's fnmatch):

• * matches everything
• ? matches any single character
• [seq] matches any character in seq
• [!seq] matches any character not in seq

Examples:

• 'core*' matches modules starting with core
• '*test*' matches modules containing test
