A Python import hook that fetches code from Stack Overflow search results and imports it as modules, e.g. `from stackoverflow import quick_sort`. It picks the highest-voted answer's largest syntactically valid code block and exposes it as a module.

Use cases

  • import quicksort implementation from stack overflow
  • copy-paste from stack overflow automatically in python
  • fetch code snippets as python modules
  • prototype using code from stack overflow answers
  • joke import tool for python

When to choose

  • you want a fun novelty demo of import hooks
  • you're prototyping throwaway code and don't mind unvetted snippets

When to avoid

  • production code
  • security-sensitive projects since imported code is unvetted
  • projects requiring clear licensing of dependencies
