Using code objects? =================== As an OO exercise I have a factory pattern that returns class objects that each have an "action" method. ClassObj.action() in turn returns a code object in my recursive process loop.
I create the code objects as a one time step outside my factory pattern and potential class definitions, then reference them in my potential classes which seems to work as expected. When I create the code objects though, it seems a couple different ways work and I'm wondering which is better and why (or is there a more correct technique in this situation)? The two different ways are illustrated below: Python 2.4.1 (#2, Mar 31 2005, 00:05:10) [GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666)] Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> def foo(st): ... print st ... >>> exp1 = 'foo("#expersion 1#")' >>> exp2 = 'foo("#expersion 2#")' >>> obj1 = compile(exp1, 'whatever', 'single') >>> exec obj1 #expersion 1# >>> obj2 = compile(exp2, 'whatever', 'exec') >>> exec obj2 #expersion 2# >>> Thank you, Lee C -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
