help on eval()-like but return module object

[Dody Suria Wijaya]

As I'm adding XMLRPC support in my apps, I'd like to send a module in
server to be executed in client. My plan in sending the file content via
xmlrpc, and doing compile + eval, but eval just execute the code object
without returning the module.

Original:

import mymodule
mymodule.run(request)

Wish:

string_code = rpc_con.GetModule('mymodule')
code_obj = compile(string_code, '<string>', 'exec')
mymodule = eval(code_obj)
mymodule.run(request)

Any helps on this topic would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

You can use new.module to create a new module, and exec to
execute some code in the module:

py> m = new.module("Hallo")
py> exec "a=3" in m.__dict__
py> m.a
3
py> m
<module 'Hallo' (built-in)>
