How does one do the equivalent of “import * from module” with Python’s __import__ function?

by

Please reconsider. The only thing worse than import * is magic import *.

If you really want to:

m = __import__ (S)
try:
    attrlist = m.__all__
except AttributeError:
    attrlist = dir (m)
for attr in attrlist:
    globals()[attr] = getattr (m, attr)
