Thanks for the report, but importlib.import_module() doesn't accept a path of a Python module: https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.html#importlib.import_module So, the correct way to use the API is: import importlib importlib.import_module('poc') Whether we should explicitly reject passing a file path to import_module() is up to the importlib maintainers.
