How to output a local import from a macro

I think it’s because of your extra spacing around the .. This seems to work:

julia> mod = :MyModule
:MyModule

julia> f = :sin
:sin

julia> :(import .$mod: $f)
:(import .MyModule: sin)

Once in a while, I get stuck with this kind of problem. If I can’t write the expression with quote, I just dump what I want to produce, and build it “manually” with Expr and such. It’s uglier, but it always works.

julia> dump(:(import .MyModule: sin))
Expr
  head: Symbol import
  args: Array{Any}((1,))
    1: Expr
      head: Symbol :
      args: Array{Any}((2,))
        1: Expr
          head: Symbol .
          args: Array{Any}((2,))
            1: Symbol .
            2: Symbol MyModule
        2: Expr
          head: Symbol .
          args: Array{Any}((1,))
            1: Symbol sin

As an aside, reading your code, I would just esc(quote ... end), instead of escaping individual elements…
