Ok, so here is my situation:
Let's assume I have a function that makes good use of the kwargs
parameter. It requires that there is a certain "format" for the kwargs
keywords. (I am using Django, btw). The format is like such:
"SOMEVAL__exact", etc., where SOMEVAL is some value that it parses from
the keyword.
Now, I want to call this function, specifying the kwargs. The problem
is that I want to dynamically set the kwargs. For example, I don't want
to hard code in the name like such:
function_call(name__exact="Tom")
I want to generate the keyword on the fly. So, I want to do this:
(assume someVar == 'name' for now)
keyword = someVar + "__exact"
The problem:
I need to know how to get it to use the VALUE of the keyword for the
keyword.
My thoughts:
(1) Maybe I can override the kwargs parameter by doing such:
function_call(kwargs={keyword:"Tom"})
*loud buzzer* Nope. (as expected)
(2) Maybe I can just pass it in:
function_call(keyword="Tom")
Nope! (as expected, it tries to use 'keyword' as the keyword)
What can I do?!?!?!?
I really don't want to have to hardcode a BUNCH of if statements.
Thanks in advance!
