Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Stefan Seefeld (stefan) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Error "exec"ing python code Initial Comment: I'm trying to 'exec'ing the following code: class Foo: pass class Bar: f = Foo The error appears when using 'exec f in {}, {}': >>> f = ''.join(open('/home/stefan/t.py').readlines()) >>> exec f in {}, {} Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "<string>", line 2, in ? File "<string>", line 3, in Bar NameError: name 'Foo' is not defined I tested on python 2.3 and python 2.4, both show the same behavior. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Michael Chermside (mcherm) Date: 2005-03-30 07:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99874 I can confirm this... it appears that things which are set in the global scope within an "exec ... in {}, {}" are not then correctly accessed in the global scope when being read. The following two examples illustrate the problem: >>> exec """... x = 3 ... def f(): ... global x ... print x ... f() ... """ in {}, {} 3 ... and again without the global definition: >>> exec """... x = 3 ... def f(): ... print x ... f() ... """ in {}, {} Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "<string>", line 4, in ? File "<string>", line 3, in f NameError: global name 'x' is not defined ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1167300&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
