Dynamic module loading

Dynamic module loading in Python is the process of importing a module at runtime, as opposed to static imports that occur at compile time. This can be useful if you want to load modules based on certain conditions or user input, making your program more flexible.

Note that for dynamic loading, the module must be available in the Python module search path. This typically means it should be in the same directory where your script is running or in directories listed in the sys.path variable.

Additionally, while dynamic module loading can be a powerful tool, it can also pose security risks if modules are loaded from untrusted sources. Make sure to validate and filter any input used to determine the module name to avoid potential vulnerabilities.
