I'm writing a game in C++ that calls out to Python for scripting. The C++
kernel holds an instance of ScriptCtl and calls the load(filename) method to
load a script, then run() to run all loaded scripts.
<code>
[scriptctl.py]
class ScriptCtl:
threads=[]
def load(self, filename):
f=file(filename , 'r')
contents=f.read ()
f.close()
exec(contents) #contents exec'ed within the current scope and
namespace, not within their own
self.threads.ap pend(main)
def run(self):
while self.threads:
for g in self.threads:
try:
g.next()
except StopIteration:
self.threads.re move(g)
[cutscene.py]
from __future__ import generators
def cutscene():
from time import time
import sys
from utility import sleep
print "EVIL KNIGHT: I will kill you now!"; sys.stdout.flus h()
for s in sleep(1): yield None
print "OUR HERO: I shall fight you to the death. Bring it on!";
sys.stdout.flus h()
for s in sleep(1.5): yield None
print "***End of cutscene***"; sys.stdout.flus h()
main=cutscene() #initialize the generator for use by scriptctl
</code>
This works, barely. As a result of using exec, each script is executed in
ScriptCtl.load( )'s namespace. Because of this, imports have to be done inside
the script functions, or the imports go out of scope before the functions get
called (in scriptctl.run() ). Imports also have to be done as from
scriptctl.py, even though scriptctl.py deeper in the package hierarchy (so
instead of 'import core.utility' I must do 'import utility' because both
utility.py and scriptctl.py are in the same folder (core).
This sucks.
How else can I solve this problem? Ideally, I'd use Stackless Python
microthreads, but version 3.0 is not out yet and there is no documentation on
the current was to do microthreads.
Any ideas? I'm stuck.
Thanks, Dustin 2 2114
Quoth Raymond Arthur St. Marie II of III :
[...] Did I get the concept wrong about using a generater in a try section? Is this code legal anyone?
Or does this only pertain to the yeild statement in a try.
The prohibition is on yield statements in the try section of a
try-finally statement. The posted code is fine.
(This is prohibited because there is no guarantee that execution
will ever return to the generator after the yield -- the caller
might never call .next() again -- and so the finally block might
never be executed. This was judged too grave a violation of
try/finally's semantics to permit.)

Indeed.

Stackless is in fact the best way to do this, IMHO.
Unfortunately, 5 minutes before getting SLP 3.0 out,
most support for Stackless was shut down (no names here).
So I have to find a way to continue, which I definately
will, but things will slow down, again.
Maybe you can help me, and I will help you!

Anyone playing with the CPython interpreter's new command line switch might have
noticed that it only works with top-level modules (i.e. scripts that are
directly on sys.path). If the script is inside a package, the invocation will
fail with a "Module not found" error.
This PEP is aimed at fixing that :)

I would like to read in files, during run-time, which contain plain

When loading Javascript files with <scripttags in your HTML,
do the files load AND run sequentially or does the

If not, how can you force them to run sequentially?
