[Tutor] import by filename

[Chad Crabtree]

I would like to import files by their name.  I will search a
directory 
looking for a specific extension then import it as a python module I 
think this might be it.  However I am not finding this particularly 
transparent.  What I'm worried about is whether or not it needs to
have 
a python extension.

*load_source*( 	name, pathname, file)

Load and initialize a module implemented as a Python source file and 
return its module object. If the module was already initialized, it
will 
be initialized /again/. The name argument is used to create or access
a 
module object. The pathname argument points to the source file. The
file 
argument is the source file, open for reading as text, from the 
beginning. It must currently be a real file object, not a
user-defined 
class emulating a file. Note that if a properly matching
byte-compiled 
file (with suffix .pyc or .pyo) exists, it will be used instead of 
parsing the given source file.
