I have some strings that look like function calls, e.g.
"junkpkg.f1"
"junkpkg.f1()"
"junkpkg.f1('aaa')"
"junkpkg.f1('aaa','bbb')"
"junkpkg.f1('aaa','bbb','ccc')"
"junkpkg.f1('aaa','with,comma')"
and I need to split them into the function name and list of parms, e.g.
"junkpkg.f1", []
"junkpkg.f1", []
"junkpkg.f1", ['aaa']
"junkpkg.f1", ['aaa','bbb']
"junkpkg.f1", ['aaa','bbb','ccc']
"junkpkg.f1", ['aaa','with,comma']
What's the best way to do this? I would be interested in either
of two approaches:
- a "real" way which comprehensively
- a quick-and-dirty way which handles most cases, so that I
can get my coding partner running quickly while I do the
"real" way. will the csv module do the right thing for
the parm list?
Use the compiler module to generate an AST and walk it. That's the real
way. For me, that would also be the quick way because I am familiar with
the API, but it may take you a little bit of time to get used to it.
