I was wondering if there was a way to create a list (which in this case would contain several dicts) based on a string passed in by the user. Security is not an issue. Basically I want to be able to have the user pass in using optparse: --actions=[{"action_name": "action_1", "val": "asdf", "val2": "asdf"}, {"action_name": "action_2", "val": "asdf", "val2": "asdf"}, {"action_name": "action_1", "val": "asdf", "val2": "asdf"}]
And have this create a list/dict. I'm aware of pickle, but it won't work as far as I can tell. Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
