Convert Path String To Module Name

[Anas Elkinawy]

Is there any way to convert string to module name in order to import it 

ex:

characterName = mc.textField(character_name, q=1, text=True)

char_project_folder = mc.textField(project_folder, q=1, text=True)

rig_python_path = r"{0}\{1}\scripts\python\{2}Rig".format(char_project_folder, characterName, characterName)

rig_mod = importlib.import_module("{0}Rig".format(characterName))

from rig_mod import rig

Error: ImportError: file No module named rig_mod #

as you can see it doesn't recognize the module as it deals with it as a string

Almost got it!

rig = rig_mod.rig

That’s because the module was already imported in the line above, but cannot use the from ... syntax since that would try and import it again. Your rig_mod is a perfectly fine imported module.
