how to subscript a module

[jgriesfeller]

Hi,

for my aeroval parallelization effort I would appreciate a little help. As long as this is not solved we all have to stick to the var name CFG for the aeroval config.

The very preliminary parallelization interface is here:
https://github.com/metno/pyaerocom/blob/griesie_fix_663/pyaerocom/tools/aeroval_parallelise.py

To do some the parallelization I have to load the aeroval config file as a module done here:

pyaerocom/pyaerocom/tools/aeroval_parallelise.py

Line 66 in d902f21

foo = SourceFileLoader("bla", _file).load_module()

Unfortunately modules are not subscript-able, so something like

 CFG = foo["CFG"]

does not work. In my case that means that the aeroval configuration has to be in a variable with a fixed name (CFG atm). I find that rather inflexible and would like to make that configurable.
I know that this can in principle be done, but I want to focus on the parallelization for now. So if one of you has a solution to the problem, this will be well appreciated.

try with the getattr built-in function

CFG = getattr(foo, "CFG")

Works, thanks for the suggestion
