For example the file info.dat looks like this: users = ["Bob", "Jane"] status = {1:"ok",2:users[0]} the problem is I want to read this file and load whatever variables written in it as normal python variable statements so that when i read the file, my users var will be ["Bob","Jane"] and my status var will be {1:"ok",2:users[0]} . Is there an easy way of doing this instead of parsing the files and checking said types? Thanks Cheers AstanThink SECURITY. If is someone likely to put malicious code in the file to crap all over your machine?
Well, its only for variables, but yeah, security isnt an issue with my code.
If not then import the file as a module.
This works. Thanks!
