I'm trying to parallise with python. Specifically I'm sending code to
the processes and let them exec this code (in ascii form). However I
ran into a problem with Namespaces (I think) which I do not understand.
Here's what I do first:
---------------------------------------
bash-3.2$ cat execBug.py
#! /usr/bin/python
header="""
from scipy import randn
def f():
return randn()
"""
exec header
print "f() =",f()
bash-3.2$ ./execBug.py
f() = 0.633306324515
it est: it works.
However when I do this:
bash-3.2$ cat execBug2.py
#! /usr/bin/python
header="""
from scipy import randn
def f():
return randn()
"""
def g():
exec header
return f()
print "g() =",g()
bash-3.2$ ./execBug2.py
g() =
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./execBug2.py", line 10, in <module>
print "g() =",g()
File "./execBug2.py", line 9, in g
return f()
File "<string>", line 4, in f
NameError: global name 'randn' is not defined
bash-3.2$ ???
I get this global name error. I can fix it with adding some line like
"global randn" but I don't want to do this. I want to do exactly what
I wrote: Import the function scipy.randn in the local namespace of the
function "g" so that "return f()" makes sense. Can anybody help me out?
Yours Justus
