================================================================================
The import command defined by importcmd.py can be used in LLDB to load a Python
module given its full pathname.
The command works by extending Python's sys.path lookup to include the path to
the module to be imported when required, and then going through the language
ordinary 'import' mechanism. In this respect, modules imported from LLDB command
line should not be distinguishable from those imported using the script interpreter.
The following terminal output shows an interaction with lldb using this new command.
Enrico-Granatas-MacBook-Pro:Debug enricogranata$ ./lldb
(lldb) script import importcmd
(lldb) command script add import -f importcmd.pyimport_cmd
(lldb) import ../demo.py
(lldb) script demo.test_function('hello world')
I am a Python function that says hello world
(lldb) quit

Of course, the commands to import the importcmd.py module and to define the import
command, can be included in the .lldbinit file to make this feature available at
debugger startup
WARNING: The import command defined by importcmd.py is now obsolete
In TOT LLDB, you can say:
(lldb) command script import ../demo.py
(lldb) script demo.test_function('hello world')
I am a Python function that says hello world
(lldb) quit
using the native "command script import" command, which offers a superset of what the import command provided by importcmd.py does
