Diagram is drawn based on python's [office documentation][1]

## Pseudo code

```python

# import name, __import__(name), importlib.import_module(name), etc

if name in sys.modules:

    if sys.modules[name] is None:

        raise ModuleNotFoundError

    else if "from import statement":

        locals()[name] = module

    else:

        return module

else:

    for finder in sys.meta_path:

        spec = finder.find_spec(name, ...)

        if spec is not None:

            if spec.loader is None:

                raise ImportError

            else:

                module = spec.loader.create_module(spec)

                spec.loader.exec_module(module)

                if "from import statement":

                    locals()[name] = module

                else:

                    return module

        else:

            continue

    else:

        raise ModuleNotFoundError

```
