function

`astropy.utils.introspection:resolve_name`

source: /astropy/utils/introspection.py :26

Signature

def resolve_name ( name : str , * additional_parts : str ) → object

Summary

Extended Summary

Resolve a name like module.object to an object and return it.

This ends up working like from module import object but is easier to deal with than the __import__ builtin and supports digging into submodules.

Parameters

name : `str`: A dotted path to a Python object--that is, the name of a function, class, or other object in a module with the full path to that module, including parent modules, separated by dots. Also known as the fully qualified name of the object.
additional_parts : iterable, optional: If more than one positional arguments are given, those arguments are automatically dotted together with name.

Raises

: `ImportError`: If the module or named object is not found.
