Re: How do I do this? (eval() on the left hand side)

Sure, ok, I think I am with you now. You get a (e.g.) variable name as a string, and you KNOW how to evaluate it with "eval", but you also want to be able to assign back to (through) the string representation? One way (if I understand you correctly) is with the globals or locals dicts. Try

Re: Import a module without executing it?

Here's a quick example that will pull out all functions defined in the top-level of a module: --- #/usr/bin/env python from compiler import parse, walk from compiler.visitor import ASTVisitor testdata = r''' def aFunction(anArg): return anArg + 1 ''' class SimpleVisitor(ASTVisitor): def v

Why do I get an "AttributeError: read" message when I do: import sys r=sys.stdin.read() ?? I've tried: r=sys.stdin.read(80) r=sys.stdin.read(1) same error message. I couldn't find any reference to this function in my Python book (they have the stdout but not in). Some sample

Re: Import a module without executing it?

Andy thx for that. I had a file called 'tktest.py' lying around, and I did: '>>> a = compiler.parseFile('tktest.py') And "a" looks something like this: *** Stmt([Import([('Tkinter', None)]), Function(None, 'add_rows', ['w', 'titles', 'rows'], [], 0, None, Stmt([Discard(CallFunc(Getattr(Name('w')

Re: How do I do this? (eval() on the left hand side)

Hi It's me a = 3 y = "a" print eval(y) To get 'a' to be 4 here, you would say a = 4 I am not sure why you would want to do otherwise? Perhaps you could sketch out a little more about what you are trying to do? That would help a lot. Are you aiming for something like point
