msticpy.lazy_importer module

Lazy importer for msticpy sub-packages.

msticpy.lazy_importer.lazy_import(importer_name: str, import_list: Iterable[str]) → Tuple[ModuleType, Callable, Callable]

Return the importing module and a callable for lazy importing.

Parameters:

• importer_name (str) – The module performing the import to help facilitate resolving relative imports.

• import_list (Iterable[str]) – Iterable of the modules to be potentially imported (absolute or relative). The basic form is “[mod_path.]import_item”. This will import “import_item” from the module specified by “mod_path”. The as form of importing is also supported, e.g. “pkg.mod.func as spam_func”.

Returns:

This function returns a tuple of two items. The first is the importer module for easy reference within itself. The second item is a callable to be set to __getattr__ of the calling module.

Return type:

Tuple[module, Callable]
