Dynamic imports
 
490
===============
 
491
 
 
492
If you need to import a module (or attribute of a module) named in a
 
493
variable:
 
494
 
 
495
 * If importing a module, not an attribute, and the module is a top-level
 
496
   module (i.e. has no dots in the name), then it's ok to use the builtin
 
497
   ``__import__``, e.g. ``__import__(module_name)``.
 
498
 * In all other cases, prefer ``bzrlib.pyutils.get_named_object`` to the
 
499
   built-in ``__import__``.  ``__import__`` has some subtleties and
 
500
   unintuitive behaviours that make it hard to use correctly.
