Question about extending the interperter

Re: Question about extending the interperter

ered I could make all of the extensions to call a general function which will call the original functions (it can do so because it has the function address as a parameter). If I could get the full line the user has entered that would be great, if that's possible. Hope I've explained it correctly... cheers, Eli -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

check whether a value is scalar

Hi, I want to check whether a value is a scalar. A scalar can be: - None (null) - string - number (integer, float) - boolean How can I validate a value is one of these types? I care about the value only, and not its class methods. An object is not a scalar, since it's not a simple value. An array

Re: check whether a value is scalar

Python treats integers as objects, but as I mentioned that I do care about the value only, and not its object methods. I mean that it's not possible to share objects among application in different programming languages, but it's possible to share the scalar values among them. Strings, booleans, int
