DEPRECATED don't use it. Please do::

    import importlib

    foopath = 'src.apis.foo.Foo'

    module_name = '.'.join(foopath.split('.')[:-1]) # to get src.apis.foo

    foo_module = importlib.import_module(module_name)

    clazz_name = foopath.split('.')[-1] # to get Foo

    Foo = getattr(module_name, clazz_name)

    print Foo()

Imports an object based on a string

* Free software: ISC license

* Documentation: https://import-string.readthedocs.io.

Features

--------

Imports an object based on a string.  This is useful if you want to

use import paths as endpoints or something similar.  An import path can

be specified either in dotted notation (``.``)

or with a colon as object delimiter (``:``).

If `silent` is True the return value will be `None` if the import fails.

Usage

-----

.. code-block:: python

    import import_string

    module = import_string('my_system.my_package.my_module')

    function = import_string('my_system.my_module:some_function')

    Class = import_string('my_system.my_module:SomeClass', silent=True)

    # If path doesn't exist Class = None
