Purpose

This package contains the code from importlib as found in Python 2.7. It is provided so that people who wish to use importlib.import_module() with a version of Python prior to 2.7 or in 3.0 have the function readily available. The code in no way deviates from what can be found in the Python 2.7 standard library.

For documentation, see the importlib docs_ for Python 2.7.

Notice about maintenance

Due to the fact that this project is only applicable to versions of Python that are no longer supported <http://cpython-devguide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#status-of-python-branches>_, there will be no further maintenance of this project. Since the code included in this project is simply copied from Python 2.7 itself, if you need updated fixes you can copy the files manually on your own.
