Import from github_com

import_from_github_com is a playful yet practical experiment that lets you import Python modules directly from GitHub using an import-like mechanism. The idea is to remove the friction of “clone → install → import” when you just want to try out a single file or small repo. It hooks into Python’s import machinery so that when you reference a GitHub path, it fetches the code, stores it locally (often with caching), and makes it importable in the current environment. This is helpful for prototyping, teaching, or quickly exploring other people’s utilities without polluting your global site-packages. It also demonstrates how flexible Python’s import system is and can be used as a reference for custom importers. While not a substitute for proper packaging, it’s a clever shortcut for rapid experimentation.
