Hi;
I have the following code that execute without a problem:
Fine. But it fails to execute here - ImportError on the 3rd line
("options"), NameErrors on the 4th line ("addStore") and 5th line
("optionTables").
import sys,os
sys.path.append(os.getcwd())
import options
storesTables = []
OT, but the official naming convention in Python is
all_lower_with_underscores.
junkStores = string.join(addStore(), ', ')
junkStores = ", ".join(addStore())
for table in optionsTables():
OT again, but a general (not python-specific) naming rule is to use
nouns for variables and verbs for functions. I almost failed to spot the
parens after "optionsTables". "getOptionsTables" or something like this
would make your intent more obvious IM(NS)HO.
if table not in ('particulars', junkStores):
I dont know for sure what junkStores looks like at this point, but given
the call to string.join, chances are this test doesn't work as expected
- cf the following snippet:
"""
>>> foo = ("bar", "baaz, back")
>>> "bar" in foo
True
>>> "baaz" in foo
False
>>>
"""
storesTables.append(table)
for table in storesTables:
You don't need two loops here - you could as well proceed as you go, ie:
for table in optionsTables():
if pass_some_test(table):
proceed_with(table)
try:
fn = getattr(options, table)
print fn()
except:
pass
AAAARRRGHHH ! NO ! DONT ! EVER ! DO ! THAT !
You have to either *properly* handle and exception OR let it propagate.
For the record, even sys.exit is implemented as an exception.
I need to change the obvious line to this or something similar (that
actually works):
fn = getattr(options, '%s("names")' % table)
That is, I need to pass the variable "names" to each table as it is
called.
How does this relate to the above line of code ???????
It really looks like you're programming by accident (IOW : try anything
until it seems to "work", but without any understanding of what your
code is *really* doing....)
How do I do this?
If the question is "how do I pass a variable to a function", then you
probably didn't write the above code and shouldn't even touch it before
you learn CS101. Else, please explain more exactly what you're trying to
do - would be better with an executable, self-contained example.
