<h1>nose: nose.importer</h1>

<p>Implements an importer that looks only in specific path (ignoring

sys.path), and uses a per-path cache in addition to sys.modules. This is

necessary because test modules in different directories frequently have the

same names, which means that the first loaded would mask the rest when using

the builtin importer.</p>

<h2>Classes</h2>

<p>Highlighted methods are defined in this class.</p><a name="Importer"></a><div class="cls section"><span class="cls name">Importer</span> (object)<div class="cls doc"><p>An importer class that does only path-specific imports. That

is, the given module is not searched for on sys.path, but only at

the path or in the directory specified.</p>
