When doing something similar to this I used the built-in 'execfile()' function to execute the code created (and retrieve its results).

This is exactly what my Python program does, but I've found it to be a very powerful and useful technique while remaining relatively easy to maintain (the generated code doesn't contain any conditionals or loops, however). Another nice by-product is that the data stored this way is portable to different platforms. -Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
