Hi,
Thanks, that seems to be what I was missing. I'm having some further
related trouble though. I want to do something like this:
MODULES = [ 'module1', 'module2' ]
def libinfo():
for m in MODULES:
__import__('libinfo.'+m)
m.libinfo()
CFLAGS+=m.CFLAGS
That is, effectively expanding out to:
def libinfo():
__import__('libinfo.module1')
module1.libinfo()
CFLAGS+=module1.CFLAGS
I think the m in "m.libinfo()" is a string and so there is a failure to find
a libinfo member of a string object (which makes sense). Is there some way
to call the libinfo member of the object named by m? Am I heading into
reflection territory?
Regards,
Steven

modulename = 'module'
