Description:

Import machinery has been revamped and has been re-written in Python3. Not many of the developers are aware of the internal mechanics of how the import system works and how this can be leveraged for some specific use cases

This talk will introduce the audience to:

• Evolution of import system in python
• What happens under the hoods when a module/package is imported into Python namespace
• Various hooks available that can be leveraged for customization
• Some of the usecases where this can be leveraged

After the talk, audience will get a clear idea of how import system is implemented in Python3 and will be able to leverage the hooks available for any future use cases

Prerequisites:

Knowledge of python programming, basic understanding of Python modules and Packages, knowledge of python standard library modules like sys, os, etc
