Yes, and when you embed this in your web-application, using data gathered
from a web-form, the black-hat hackers will thank you for the security
hole too.

s = "distances = [[1,1,1,1],[2,2,2,2]]"
exec(s)

To be clear, exec is *not* a function; it's a statement. That means it
can't be used in lambda functions, for example.

but dodgy, as it'll execute any python code.

Wow! So simple!
Thanks a lot. :-)

Hi,
I have a string "distances = [[1,1,1,1],[2,2,2,2]]". I want to create a
variable called distances whose value is the list [[1,1,1,1],[2,2,2,2]]. How can
I go about that? I know I can use setattr, but how do I create the list from the
string?
Regards,
Simon
