Knockout

Knockout aims to extend the basic importing mechanisms in Python3 by allowing more exotic stuff to be added to sys.path.

TODO

• add tests
• PyPy support with sandbox mode
• Hy support

Importers

Currently, the available importer is:

• urlimport.py: Import modules from anywhere on the web by adding URLs to sys.path.

Importing modules from the web

>>> from knockout import urlimport
>>> urlimport.register()
Url importing enabled. Add urls to sys.path.
A valid url looks like this: http://example.com/path/to/repository/#packagename
This stuff is experimental, use at your own risk. Enjoy.

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.insert(0, 'http://localhost:8000/#import_me')
>>> import import_me
...
