How to import other Python files?

Question

How do I import other files in Python? How exactly can I import a specific python file like import file.py? How can I import a folder instead of a specific file? I want to load a Python file dynamically at runtime, based on user input. I want to know how to load just one specific part of the file. For example, in main.py I have: from extra import * Although this gives me all the definitions in extra.py, when maybe all I want is a single definition: def gap(): Print print What do I add to the import statement to just get a gap from extra.py? Select the correct answer from above options

Python has recently added importlib, in addition, to programmatically import a module. It’s just a wrapper class around __import__. For further information about importlib, you can visit https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.html#module-importlib import importlib module name = input('Enter module name:') importlib.import_module(moduleName) To know more about this you can have a look at the following video tutorial:-
