pkgutil.get_loader(module_or_name)

Get a PEP 302 “loader” object for module_or_name.

If the module or package is accessible via the normal import mechanism, a wrapper around the relevant part of that machinery is returned. Returns None if the module cannot be found or imported. If the named module is not already imported, its containing package (if any) is imported, in order to establish the package __path__.
