How to install and import Python modules at runtime?
You can use pip to install packages at runtime and importlib.import_module(moduleName) to import module by using its name as a string. For example,
import pip import importlib def import_with_auto_install(package): try: return importlib.import_module(package) except ImportError: pip.main(['install', package]) return importlib.import_module(package) # Example if __name__ == '__main__': scrapy = import_with_auto_install('scrapy') print(scrapy)
The above script installs the scrapy module and imports it when installation of the module completes.
