Python and Dynamic Imports

[Ashcrow]

I'm wanting to import a specific class via a choice thats made by the user. The following is the flawed code that I came up with (but doesn't 'compile' ...)

    def packageSelect(self, event, package):
        self.package_type = package
        import ("%s" % ("" + LIB_PATH + self.package_type + "_package.py"))
        return package

I would also like to remove the class if that is possible on demand as well.

Any ideas?

No ideas?

Truth be told I"ve never seen this done.

Does this help?

I just googled for 'python "conditional import"' and 'python dynamic import'
