But you do not need exec here at all. exec is a very powerful command,
but you should treat it as for experts only. Instead of writing:
exec("qqq = inspect.getmembers(xModel.%s)" % x)
a much safer way is:
qqq = inspect.getmembers(getattr(xModel, x))
which is faster, easier to understand, and easier to debug.
I also see you have not one, but two bare except clauses:
try:
...
except:
...
This is not a good idea! Please read this:
https://realpython.com/blog/python/the-most-diabolical-python-antipattern/
I think your code is too complex. Here is a simpler function which does
what you describe as "correct behaviour":
def esplora(xModel):
i = 0
for i, name in enumerate(dir(xModel), 1):
what = type(getattr(xModel, name))
print(name, what)
print("Totale elementi: %s" % i)

I think the underlying problem is that Python 3 doesn't give you write
access to the function's namespace:
def f():
... x = "a"
... exec("print(x); x = 'b'; print(x)")
... print(x)
...
f()
a
b
a
Here exec()'s namespace is initialized with a copy of the local namespace
whereas on the module level where global and local namespace are identical
it operates directly on the module namespace:
x = "a"
exec("print(x); x = 'b'; print(x)")
a
b
x
'b'
While exec() is the wrong choice in most cases (Steven already proposed a
better way to solve your problem) you can see the rebound names if you pass
a namespace explicitly:
def f():
... ns = dict(x="a")
... exec("print(x); x = 'b'; print(x)", ns)
... print(ns["x"])
...
f()
a
b
b
First of all, many thanks to both of you, Steven and Peter!
Steven taught me how to use getattr() instead of directly inspecting the
results of dir(), thus leading me unlock the inner structure of the
document I'm exploring; Peter solved the puzzle I stumbled on while
searching, and taught me something about function namespace.
As to the use of exec() and bare except, Steven, I read the post you
linked some time ago, and I thoroughly understand those are very
dangerous and complex commands. But I think I used them with all due
caution.
Due to my ignorance about getattr(), I tried first using type(name) and
later with inspect.getmembers(name), but both of them only applied to
the string I gave them, instead of its meaning. That's why I felt forced
to use exec. And it worked, while in the interpreter. I'm happy I did,
because this made me learn something from you! (well, after a full
weekend spent in failing efforts... ;-) )
As to the two bare excepts, I just don't care what the exception is, I'm
only interested in knowing if there has been one, and I properly
signalled it. So I think this is a proper use case for a bare except.
The output of dir(XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument()), my real problem, is 290
items long, and some of them (e.g. the first one, "AllVersions") cannot
be accessed at all. So I always get at least one exception, but I just
don't care of them.
After your help, I modified my routine, still using a bare except:
#
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# this only works as a Python macro called from LibreOffice
xModel = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument()
i = 0
questi = []
for i, name in enumerate(dir(xModel), 1):
try:
qqq = inspect.getmembers(getattr(xModel, name))
except:
qqq = "-NO AVAIL-"
questi.append(str((name, qqq))+"\n")
questi.append(str(("Totale elementi:", " %s" % i)))
resultstring = "\n\n".join(questi)
#
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
and the first lines of its much awaited output:

Now I just have to search these 290 haystacks to find the fields I
created in this form... but at least I have a magnifying glass.
THANKS !
