There must be a couple of lines that will replace the following:
>From the shell command line I wanted to send data to a specific
function inside my module and execute that function in order to test
it separately from the rest of the module. I know pdb will allow me to
insert data into a running process, but this particular function
requires several long steps beforehand.
My command line:
myprog.py --test removefromcue "myargs" ### removefromcue is
my function inside myprog.py
main()
...
try:
opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], "t:", ["--test="])
except getopt.GetoptError:
for o, a in opts:
if o in "-t":
myfunc = a
myargs = args
test(myfunc, myargs)
sys.exit()
My problem was that I send a string into the the test function. I
needed to convert that string into the appropriate object. globals()
provides a dictionary with string:object pairs in the global
namespace.
def test(myfunc, myargs):
""" execute a given function """
for key,value in globals().items():
if myfunc in key:
func = value
break
args = ""
for i in myargs:
args += i + ","
func(args[:-1]) ### removefromcue("myitem")
There's something very basic that I should know.
