I have the following little piece of code:
class Cfg:pass
#config = Cfg()
def assign():
setattr(config, 'Start' , [13, 26, 29, 34])
def foo():
config = Cfg()
dct = {'config':config, 'assign':assign}
exec "assign()" in dct
print config.Start
foo()
When I execute this I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mod1.py", line 13, in ?
foo()
File "mod1.py", line 10, in foo
exec "assign()" in dct
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
File "mod1.py", line 5, in assign
setattr(config, 'Start' , [13, 26, 29, 34])
NameError: global name 'config' is not defined
Now I don't understand this. In the documentation I read the following:
If only the first expression after in is specified, it should be a
dictionary, which will be used for both the global and the local
variables.
I provided a dictionary to be used for the global variables and it
contains a 'config' entry, so why doesn't this work?
