您也可以执行类似的操作，将配置文件所在的目录添加到Python加载路径中，然后进行正常导入，假设您事先知道文件的名称，在本例中为“config”。

凌乱，但它有效。

configfile = '~/config.py'

import os
import sys

sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(os.path.expanduser(configfile)))

import config

这个答案是对Sebastian Rittau对评论的回答的补充：“但是如果你没有模块名怎么办？”这是一种快速而肮脏的方法，可以将可能的Python模块名指定为文件名——它只是沿着树向上移动，直到找到一个没有__init__.py文件的目录，然后将其转换回文件名。对于Python 3.4+（使用pathlib），这是有意义的，因为Python 2可以使用“imp”或其他方式进行相对导入：

import pathlib

def likely_python_module(filename):
    '''
    Given a filename or Path, return the "likely" python module name.  That is, iterate
    the parent directories until it doesn't contain an __init__.py file.

    :rtype: str
    '''
    p = pathlib.Path(filename).resolve()
    paths = []
    if p.name != '__init__.py':
        paths.append(p.stem)
    while True:
        p = p.parent
        if not p:
            break
        if not p.is_dir():
            break

        inits = [f for f in p.iterdir() if f.name == '__init__.py']
        if not inits:
            break

        paths.append(p.stem)

    return '.'.join(reversed(paths))

当然有改进的可能性，可选的__init__.py文件可能需要进行其他更改，但如果您通常有__init__.pry，这就有了窍门。

要从给定文件名导入模块，可以临时扩展路径，并在finally块引用中恢复系统路径：

filename = "directory/module.py"

directory, module_name = os.path.split(filename)
module_name = os.path.splitext(module_name)[0]

path = list(sys.path)
sys.path.insert(0, directory)
try:
    module = __import__(module_name)
finally:
    sys.path[:] = path # restore

我认为，最好的方法是从官方文件（29.1。imp-访问导入内部构件）：

import imp
import sys

def __import__(name, globals=None, locals=None, fromlist=None):
    # Fast path: see if the module has already been imported.
    try:
        return sys.modules[name]
    except KeyError:
        pass

    # If any of the following calls raises an exception,
    # there's a problem we can't handle -- let the caller handle it.

    fp, pathname, description = imp.find_module(name)

    try:
        return imp.load_module(name, fp, pathname, description)
    finally:
        # Since we may exit via an exception, close fp explicitly.
        if fp:
            fp.close()

向sys.path添加路径（与使用imp相比）的优点是，当从单个包导入多个模块时，可以简化操作。例如：

import sys
# the mock-0.3.1 dir contains testcase.py, testutils.py & mock.py
sys.path.append('/foo/bar/mock-0.3.1')

from testcase import TestCase
from testutils import RunTests
from mock import Mock, sentinel, patch
