Parsing Python code with a Python Program

[pgw]

Hello,

I would like to pass strings to a Python
application and have them executed as though
they were lines of code.

Is 'exec()' the function that I am looking for
and/or is there an example of this somewhere?

Thanks,

Seaweed

Hello,

I had my quotes wrong is all.

EXAMPLE:

exec 'print "Hello"'

OR:

s = 'print "hello"'

exec s

Thanks anyway,

Seaweed

Well, it's a statement, not a function, but yes, that's what you're
looking for.

Well you can also generate code into a specific file name and then import
the file and execute the generated code by reference to file.function...

goodluck
