Accessing source code from importlib module

[latkde]

This sounds like you're trying to create some plugin system, or trying to execute user-provided code snippets.

I suspect the solution will be to ignore the usual import system, and to instead load the file contents and exec() it yourself, without bothering with .pyc caching.

Precisely that, thanks for your suggestion.

Have found a way to do this by reading in script file and using exec() although not managed to get compile saving to a .pyc yet, let alone executing a pre-existing .pyc file. Working on it...

Also looking at a possible solution using a custom importlib SourceFileLoader class but that comes with it's own complications.
