I'm trying to embed python into an application that already contains a
scripting language. This scripting language contains thousands of
commands and I have the ability to query the script engine and get
syntax information regarding valid arguments and such.
Rather than writing explicate wrappers for each command (which will be
very time consuming), I would like to extend python by creating a module
that allows any function name to be executed with any number of keyword
arguments. I would then like to take the function name and keyword
arguments and pass these to the apps script engine in the format
required.
Is there any way to do this or any way to do something like this?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions that may be offered.
--Whitney.

It's pretty easy using Python's introspection features to supply the
syntactic sugar. Simple example:
class _Callable:
def __init__(self, name):
self._name = name
def __call__(self, **args):
# [Do argument name checking, etc. here]
# [Dispatch command here]
print 'Sending command %r with arguments: %r' % (self._name,
args) # TEST
class Bridge:
def __getattr__(sel f, name):
# [Do command name checking here]
return _Callable(name)
bridge = Bridge()
bridge.foo(bar= 1, baz=True) # -> Sending command 'foo' with arguments
{'baz': True, 'bar': 1}
Also see my Python-to-Apple Event Manager bridge for ideas and/or
code: http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.s...appscript.html
Has,
Thanks! This is exactly what I was missing.
I appreciate everybody's suggestions and the loads of general good info
on this list. I'm going to be able to get back into python for a few
months ( after a few year break ). I'll try to lurk on the list and
pitch in.
Thanks again,
--Whitney.

Is it possible through some trickery, perhaps using the methods of
stdarg, to pass a dynamic (unknown at compile time) number of
arguments to a function? For example, I want to enumerate an array of
values and then pass them all to sprintf. I wouldn't want to write an
explicit check for each amount of variables that I might want to send,
nor write my own sprintf function that takes an array. Can it be done?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
