Reading the documentation would be a good start: >From http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html: eval( expression[, globals[, locals]]) The arguments are a string and optional globals and locals. If provided, globals must be a dictionary. If provided, locals can be any mapping object. Changed in version 2.4: formerly locals was required to be a dictionary. The expression argument is parsed and evaluated as a Python expression (technically speaking, a condition list) using the globals and locals dictionaries as global and local name space. If the globals dictionary is present and lacks '__builtins__', the current globals are copied into globals before expression is parsed. -- Arnaud -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
