Hello,
I can't seem to get eval or compile to accept the print stmt, or any
complicated statements.
The documentation I've looked out doesn't explain why this is.
ex: eval("print('fo o')")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "<string>", line 1
print('foo')
but this works: eval('sys.__std out__.write("fo o\\n")')
foo
also, I can't get eval to make callable objects. is this possible? eval("def foo():\n return 'foo'")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "<string>", line 1
def foo():
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I'd like to have a command line parameter be turned into a callable
statement with an expected environment (a la awk) but I can't seem to
get this working. (I get the same behavior for compile.
Thanks,
A 1  1758

eval only works with expressions, and `print ...` is a statement.
So is `def ...` .
exec should do what you want.

In Python 2.4, although None can't be directly assigned to,
globals() can still be; however, that won't change the value of
the expression "None" in ordinary statements. Except with the eval
function, it seems:
Python 2.4 (#2, Dec 3 2004, 17:59:05)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

I'm an old time python user, but just got bitten by namespaces in eval.
If this is an old discussion somewhere, feel free to point me there.
Based on the documentation, I would have expected the following to
work:
def foo(k): print k; print a
ns = {'a':1, 'foo': foo}
eval('foo(2)', ns)

Could someone give me the name of a compiler/environment where this code
evaluates left to right (or, at least not right to left!) - as in
the compiler evaluates the parameter
list left to right. This is for a c programming class, and all the gcc
implentations I have to hand does this right to left. So, I'd like to give
a concrete counter example.

Hi there:
I have seen numerous postings about eval() and its evils on this forum.
However, one of our developers is using it in the following way,
which seems like a great use of it.
Page makes Ajax request to ASP.Net web service. Web service does some
data lookup and builds a string representation of a Javascript array
which is then returned to the client. In the ajax callback, call to
eval on the returned string and voila, ...

I am wandering if my code is making sense... I use a lot the print function.
Is it weird in this case where I have to display an array ? I thought it
would be better to have the entire array in php but now I am not sure if
that makes sense. Can you tell me please ?

Now I want to evaluate y by substituting for the evaluated value of x.
eval(y) will try to add "a+b" to 3 and return an error. I could do

Hi group,
Question: Do eval() and exec not accept a function definition? (like
'def foo: pass) ?
I wrote a function to generate other functions using something like
eval("def foo: ....")
but it gave a syntax error ("Invalid syntax") with caret pointing to
the 'd' of the def keyword.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
