How Import Works

Translations: en en

Summary

This talk will go over how the simple from sys import version turns out to be slightly complicated. The details of imports -- from how the import statement is interpreted to deciding what object to return -- will be discussed. While the talk will discuss things from the perspective of Python 3.3 (and thus importlib), the overall semantics will (mostly) apply to older versions of Python.
