imp - Access the import internals
https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/imp.html

This module provides an interface to the mechanisms used to implement the import statement.
此模块提供了用于实现 import 语句的机制的接口。

mechanism ['mek(ə)nɪz(ə)m]：n. 机制，原理，途径，进程，机械装置，技巧
internal [ɪn'tɜːn(ə)l]：n. 内脏，本质 adj. 内部的，里面的，体内的，内部的

1. imp.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.
加载并初始化实现为 Python 源文件的模块并返回其模块对象。如果模块已经初始化，它将再次初始化。name 参数用于创建或访问模块对象。pathname 参数指向源文件。file 参数是源文件，从头开始打开以作为文本读取。它当前必须是真实的文件对象，而不是模拟文件的用户定义的类。请注意，如果存在正确匹配的字节编译文件 (带后缀 .pyc 或 .pyo)，则将使用它而不是解析给定的源文件。

suffix ['sʌfɪks]：n. 后缀，词尾 v. 添后缀
