- import_io_module_or_fail(module_name, file_path=None)[source]
Attempt to import I/O module; throw error if not found
The assumption is that the I/O module will be used to read a file, so the file_path argument is used to put together a meaningful error message to the user if importing the module fails.
- Parameters:
module_name (str) – Name of i/o module (e.g. “h5pyd”, “fsspec”, etc.).
file_path (str, optional) – Optional name of file to add to error message to make it more explicit to user what file was trying to be opened.
- Returns:
obj – Handle to the imported module.
