Hello all, I'm writing in tool in Python that manipulates various data objects read from various streams. I wanted to give the user a chance to do advanced work that could not easily be done from a GUI.
At first, I tried putting in a lightweight scripting language, and then I thought, why not include Python in itself -- it is certainly powerful enough. I had assumed I'd present the user with a text window in which they could type arbitrary python code. I'd wrap that code around a function and pass that function a call of objects they could manipulate by calling the methods of that class. 1. How can a python program invoke ANOTHER interpreter? 2. How can I pass the class in as its argument and get the modified class back? I know I can do something very ugly -- call a C method that calls a new python interpreter but that seems VERY ugly. Help? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
