I am building a Python script for processing json data according to some criteria. Also I have built a custom module which consists of methods for retrieving json data and generation of json file which consist of processed data. But that module file is stored into S3 bucket and I need to import that module into my script so that I can invoke functions defined in module.
Please suggest me appropriate solution regarding importing python module from external URL
Package your module into your favorite extension (tarball, wheel, etc.) using setuptools and then you will be able to install it using pip as bruno by doing something like:
pip install --no-index --trusted-host s3_ip/host --find-links http://s3.com...
Well, you could download the file using urllib2 and then import it, if the online module is all in one file:
from urllib2 import urlopen
r = urlopen('http://urlHere/fileHere')
f = open('filenameToWrite', 'w')
f.write(r.read())
f.close()
import filenameWithout.PyInIt
