I am using swig to generate our CLI for TCL and Python. In this CLI, we have a subcommand
"exec" that is failing to compile in the python case. There seems to be some built-in
python command "exec" which is giving a syntax error in the .py file generated by swig
when I try to import it:
def exec(*args): return _wbt_daemon.dm_cli_exec(*args)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I don't really want to change the CLI commands or make them different between languages. Is there
any way to define a method called "exec" on a class? It would be executed as obj.exec()
so I don't see why it should conflict with the built in "exec" command.
class dm_cli(_object):
__swig_setmethods__ = {}
__setattr__ = lambda self, name, value: _swig_setattr(self, dm_cli, name,
value)
__swig_getmethods__ = {}
__getattr__ = lambda self, name: _swig_getattr(self, dm_cli, name)
def __init__(self): raise RuntimeError, "No constructor defined"
...
def exec(*args): return _wbt_daemon.dm_cli_exec(*args)
...
}
Thanks for the suggestion. Looks like we currently use 2.3.4.
This still wouldn't solve the problem because now the user would need to call something like
getattr(wbt, "exec")(<args>) instead of wbt.exec(<args>) like all the other
commands.
I think the easiest thing for me to do would be to just change the command name
from exec to something else.
Yeah, that's unfortunate.
I suggest 'execute'. :)
