Hi All, I'm collating a bunch of my utility scripts into one, creating a single script to which I will symbolic link multiple times. This way I only have to write code for error checking, output-formatting etc a single time.
So, I have ~/bin/foo -> ~/Code/python/mother_of_all_utility_scripts.py ~/bin/bar -> ~/Code/python/mother_of_all_utility_scripts.py ~/bin/baz -> ~/Code/python/mother_of_all_utility_scripts.py I would like "bar" to run the bar method (and so on). ------------- class Statistic() def __init__(self): pass def foo(self): return "foo!" def bar(self): return "bar!" # ... and so on... def main(): stats_obj = Statistic() name = re.sub("[^A-Za-z]", "", sys.argv[0]) method = getattr(stats_obj, name, None) if callable(method): stats_obj.name() # <------------HERE else: print "nope, not sure what you're after...." ----------- However, as I'm sure you've all noticed already, there is no method called "name". I would really prefer to get a nudge in the right direction before I start evaling variables and so on. Does my approach make sense? If not, please give me a hint...
