I am writing a parser and I have a routine that can digest a series of tokes:
def digest(*args) I use it like this: digest("FOR", "IDENT", "EQ", "INTVAL", "COLON"). This part works fine. My digest function returns a list of the values associated with each token. dummy1, ident, dummy2, start = digest("FOR", "IDENT", "EQ", "INTVAL", "COLON") But I dont like the way this looks and I want my digest routine to do more work. I want to be able to specify the variable bindings in the call to digest - and not have them be on the LHS of the assignment. Ideally I want to call digest like this: digest("FOR", ("IDENT",ident), "EQ", ("INTVAL",start), "COLON") and have ident and start be local variable defined in the place that calls digest. Is it possible to do something like that? -Ram -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
