Hello. I am a novice programmer and have a question
I have a configuration file(configurat ion.cfg)
I read this from reading.py using ConfigParser
When I use ConfigParser.ge t() function, it returns a string.
I want to call a function that has the same name as the string from
the configuration file.
configuration.c fg
---------------------------------------
[1234]
title: abcd
function: efgh
---------------------------------------
reading.py
--------------------------------------------------------
import ConfigParser
def efgh():
print 'blah'
config = ConfigParser.Co nfigParser()
config.read('co nfiguration.cfg ')
fcn = config.get('123 4','function')
type(fcn)
print fcn
--------------------------------------------------------
<type 'str'>
efgh
Is there any way to call efgh() ?
One way I know is using if statement
if fcn == 'efgh':
efgh()
But I am going to have many functions to call, so I want to avoid
this.
Thank you for your help 3 1547

You can find the function in the global dictionary (returned by globals()):
globs = globals()
func_name = config.read('12 34', 'function')
func = globs[func_name]
# and then call it
func()
But a safer way would be to use a class with some static methods:
class Functions (object) :
@staticmethod
def efgh () :
blah blah...
and then find the function in the class dict:
func = getattr(Functio ns, func_name)
func()
this way you can restrict the set of functions the user can give, excluding
those which are not supposed to be called this way.

Something like this:
globals()[fcn]()
Thank you for the answers.
Now I understood how to call a function, let me ask you another
question.
configuration.c fg
---------------------------------------
[1234]
title: abcd
function: efgh
---------------------------------------
reading.py
--------------------------------------------------------
import ConfigParser
class Functions:
def efgh(self):
print 'blah'
fcn = Functions()
config = ConfigParser.Co nfigParser()
config.read('co nfiguration.cfg ')
title = config.get('123 4','title') # number 1
function_name = config.get('123 4','function')
title = getattr(fcn, function_name)
title()
--------------------------------------------------------
instead of assigning string value('abcd') to title at number 1
I want to assign this function(fcn.ef gh()) to abcd and make abcd a
FunctionType.
so later on, I want to call it by abcd(), not title().
The reason is I will have a loop reading from configuration file, so I
need to have different names for each function.
abcd is a string I read got it from config.get('123 4','title')

Dear all,
I am building an ASP 1.1 application based on a n-Tier architecture.
I have my datalayer class that need to read the connection string of my sql
server database from a configuration file as it can be located anywhere.
Do I have to add a web.config file within my class library project and call
my AppSetting section with standard .Net function or do I have to do it in an
other way around ?

I have a sort of petty-neurotic question, I'm kinda pedantic and like

My application has two types of components: daemons and regular ones

similar, I want both to use the same logging configuration file.
