importlib.import_module(name, package=None) 
Import a module. The name argument specifies what module to import in absolute or relative terms (e.g. either pkg.mod or ..mod). If the name is specified in relative terms, then the package argument must be set to the name of the package which is to act as the anchor for resolving the package name (e.g. import_module('..mod', 'pkg.subpkg') will import pkg.mod).

The import_module() function acts as a simplifying wrapper around importlib.__import__(). This means all semantics of the function are derived from importlib.__import__(), including requiring the package from which an import is occurring to have been previously imported (i.e., package must already be imported). The most important difference is that import_module() returns the most nested package or module that was imported (e.g. pkg.mod), while __import__() returns the top-level package or module (e.g. pkg).

>>>from importlib import import_module
>>>mod = import_module('D:\SCRIPTS\OTHERS\pers_dict.py')
