Hi, just starting programming and have an elementary question after playing around with lists but cannot find >the answer with googling. I have a list of variables and I would like some of those variables to be integers and some to be operators so the list would look something like [5 * 4 - 4 + 6] and then be able to evaluate the result (i.e. get 10). How do you make the interpreter see the operator as that instead of a string and just echo the list back to me. thanks, Andy (and suggestions for a decent Python book would be appreciated)
See the operator module, and then check out pyparsing. -Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
