Hi, It seems to be strange that give me syntax error inside an eval statement. I'm looking at it carefully but I can't see any flaw.
Here it's part of the code: for nn in stn_items: value= eval('cp.%s' %nn) if value and (nn in 'log, trash, multithread, verbose, download'): cfl[wchkey][nn]= chkbool(value) continue if value: cnfg= 'cfl[wchkey][nn]= _%s(value)' %nn eval(cnfg) And the output on pdb: (Pdb) p cnfg 'cfl[wchkey][nn]=_append(value)' (Pdb) p cfl[wchkey][nn] False (Pdb) eval('cfl[wchkey][nn]= _append(value)') *** SyntaxError: invalid syntax (<string>, line 1) (Pdb) p value '230k' (Pdb) p nn 'append' Obviously I've an _append() function to convert into decimal the given value. Other "eval" before this not issuing problems and also rather complicated, but I'm not seeing the error here. I'd like to study a class that might get a string and convert it into function, once it's found inside the program. -- Mailsweeper Home : http://it.geocities.com/call_me_not_now/index.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
