Does anyknow know how to do this? The reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to make a mini-programming language for fun, and need to work with variables.
The user types 'set NAME "DATA" ' or whatever else the variable is going to be called/contain. I have: def variablework(varname, varset): exec("global "+varname) #DEFUNCT vars()[varname] = varset exec("print "+varname) #Debug purposes only This sets the variable (varname is the name of the variable, and varset is the data for it to contain) all fine and dandy, but it is local, and after some googling I realised that you can't globalised variables using exec. So I think the next best thing would be to find a way to globalize every variable in the function, but I don't know how to do this. If there isn't a way of doing this, can someone suggest another way of globalizing variable without knowing their names? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
