I have a lot of repetitive assignments to make, within a generator, that use a function outside the generator:
var1 = func("var1", args) var2 = func("var2", args) var3 = func("var3", args) etc... In each case the args are identical, but the first argument is a string of the name being assigned. It works fine but I'd like to reduce the clutter by doing the assignments in a loop. I've tried using exec(): for name in name_string_list: exec(name + ' = func(\"' + name + '\", args)') but in the local namespace it doesn't understand func(), and if I give it globals() it doesn't understand the args, which come from within the generator. What's a good way to do this kind of thing? Thanks, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
