How can I initialize an object with a string of package path in Python? [duplicate]

Question

For example, my package path is component.sub_fold.package.class_name. The component.sub_fold is the path of my package. The package is a file name. The class_name is a class name which I want to initialize it. I can initialize an object through

from component.sub_fold.package import class_name

obj = class_name()

How can I initialize an object through the string "component.sub_fold.package.class_name"?

If you want to programmatically import a module by specifying its name, you could use the importlib module.

import importlib

name = 'component.sub_fold.package.class_name'
pkg, symbol = name.rsplit('.', maxsplit=1)

pkg = importlib.import_module(pkg)
obj = getattr(pkg, symbol)()
