听起来您不想专门导入配置文件（这会带来很多副作用和额外的复杂性）。您只需要运行它，并能够访问生成的命名空间。标准库以runpy.run_path的形式专门提供了一个API：

from runpy import run_path
settings = run_path("/path/to/file.py")

该接口在Python 2.7和Python 3.2+中可用。

我给你做了一个用小鬼的包裹。我称之为import_file，它的用法如下：

>>>from import_file import import_file
>>>mylib = import_file('c:\\mylib.py')
>>>another = import_file('relative_subdir/another.py')

您可以通过以下方式获取：

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/import_file

或在

http://code.google.com/p/import-file/

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

一个使用importlib而不是imp包的简单解决方案（针对Python 2.7进行了测试，尽管它也适用于Python 3）：

import importlib

dirname, basename = os.path.split(pyfilepath) # pyfilepath: '/my/path/mymodule.py'
sys.path.append(dirname) # only directories should be added to PYTHONPATH
module_name = os.path.splitext(basename)[0] # '/my/path/mymodule.py' --> 'mymodule'
module = importlib.import_module(module_name) # name space of defined module (otherwise we would literally look for "module_name")

现在您可以直接使用导入模块的名称空间，如下所示：

a = module.myvar
b = module.myfunc(a)

这种解决方案的优点是，为了在代码中使用它，我们甚至不需要知道要导入的模块的实际名称。这很有用，例如，如果模块的路径是可配置参数。

您可以使用

load_source(module_name, path_to_file)

方法。
