How to conditionally import and run a method from another Python package?

I have a project that contains several test suites. I want to be able to specify which suite I'd like to run in the command line:
suite=multiplication python3 .
Here's my current file structure:
__main__.py
suites/
__init__.py
addition.py
subtraction.py
multiplication.py
division.py
suites/__init__.py
__all__ = ['addition', 'subtraction', 'multiplication', 'division']
subtraction.py
def testSuite():
# Bunch of tests
__main__.py
import os
import suites
# Get suite name from 'suite=xxx' in command line
suiteName = os.getenv('suite')
# Based on suiteName, load the correct file
suite = suites[suiteName]
# Call the suite loaded from the file
suite()
This errors out:
suite = suites[suiteName]
TypeError: 'module' object is not subscriptable
What's the best way to conditionally import and run a script from another package?

Use importlib.import_module:
from importlib import import_module
suite = import_module('suites.' + suiteName)
suite.testSuite()
