How can I import a specific method of a module which both are given by inputs

My_Module=input() 
My_Method=input()
from My_Module import My_Method

I'm writing a program and I need to import a method first. But when I type what I did in above it sends an error and says can't "import name My_Method from My_Module".

I tried 2 other different codes but they didn't work either.I know that My_Method is a name and can't be imported but what can I do to solve this problem and have it worked?

You need to use __import__ to get the module in a dynamic way (using a variable content as name)

Then, you need to use getattr to get the function within the module.

import importlib

modulename = input('module ')
funcname = input('func ')

mod = importlib.import_module(modulename)
func = getattr(mod, funcname)

print(func)
# call the function
func()
