I have some strings that look like function calls, e.g.
"junkpkg.f1"
"junkpkg.f1()"
"junkpkg.f1('aaa')"
"junkpkg.f1('aaa','bbb')"
"junkpkg.f1('aaa','bbb','ccc')"
"junkpkg.f1('aaa','with,comma')"
and I need to split them into the function name and list of parms, e.g.
"junkpkg.f1", []
"junkpkg.f1", []
"junkpkg.f1", ['aaa']
"junkpkg.f1", ['aaa','bbb']
"junkpkg.f1", ['aaa','bbb','ccc']
"junkpkg.f1", ['aaa','with,comma']
What's the best way to do this? I would be interested in either
of two approaches:
- a "real" way which comprehensively
- a quick-and-dirty way which handles most cases, so that I
can get my coding partner running quickly while I do the
"real" way. will the csv module do the right thing for
the parm list?
Many TIA!!
