Hello All,
Say I have this code:
import AModule
import ModuleUser
ModuleUser.do_something_with(AModule, 'some_function_name')
But say the functions are defined in the same module that contains the
above code. I can imagine this hack:
import AModule
import ModuleUser
ModuleUser.do_something_with(AModule.__name__, 'some_name')
Where AModule.__name__ could be substituted for __name__ under the
proper circumstances. Then, I would have this code in ModuleUser:
import sys
def do_something_with(modname, funcname):
afunction = sys.modules[modname].funcname
[etc.]
Which is terribly ugly to me and makes for a pretty miserable API in my
opinion, requiring the programmer to type underscores.
Basically, what I am trying to acomplish is to be able to do this in any
arbitrary module or __main__:
funcname = determined_externally()
ModuleUser.do_something_with(AModule, funcname)
Ideally, it would be nice to leave out AModule if the functions were
designed in the same namespace in which do_something_with is called.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
James
