Hi,
Is it possible to convert a string to a function parameter?
Ex:
str = 'True, type=rect, sizes=[3, 4]'
and I should be able to use it as:
test(convert(str)) and the behaviour should be same as calling test
with those values :
i.e. test(True, type=rect, sizes=[3, 4])
I tried eval, but it did not work. And any other mechanism I think
turns out to be creating a full fledged python parser.
This might work [again be avoid eval if possible].
You _might want to do something like:
def _args(*_nargs, **_kwargs):
'''Collect call parameters from a call'''
return _nargs, _kwargs
...
nargs, kwargs = eval('_args(%s)' % arglist
...
test(*nargs, **kwargs)
