Hi,
I am looking for an elegant way to solve the following problem:
Within a function
def Foo(**parms)
I have a list of names, say VList=['A','B','C1']
and I like to generate abbreviation
_A identical to parms['A']
Could you explain what you mean by that? Your sample code doesn't
seem to do any "abbreviation"...
Otherwise I don't see why you don't just have a proper parameter
list.
In my application parms contains field names of an html form iff these
fields have been modified.
I'd like to use the short name _A instead of the longer expression
parms['A']
You haven't yet explained why you don't just do:
def foo(A=None, **parms):
...
The code to call foo remains the same as before, but Python will unpack
the named parameter into the local variable A for you automatically. Any
other parms that you didn't know about in advance remain in the separate
dictionary.
Many thanks,
that's a very elegant solution.
Helmut.
