How do I import python scripts that have a custom extension instead of default .py? [duplicate]

Question

I have a 'test engine' (which is a big python script that defines a lot of functions) that can run multiple 'test suites' (which are also just python scripts, that uses the functions from the test-engine to define some custom tests).

It is intended that the test-cases should be written by non-programmers so for pedagogic reasons I want to enforce that they give their scripts a .tcs extension instead of a .py extension.

When they doubleclick the main-application, the test engine will find all the .tcs files in the same directory using glob() and import all of them to execute their statements sequentially.

Thanks for pointing me to that discussion. imp.load_source("testscript","testscript.tcs") solves the problem — Paul H

Thanks to Alex Thornton for pointing out the solution.

imp.load_source("importname","script.extension")
