I'm probably confused too. Let's try this. In
s=dialog.stopVar.get()
I'd like to eliminate the statement and replace it with something like:
s="dialog." + "stopV.get()"
)and execute that--I'm aware of the exec operation--problems)
where StopV is a string name taken from the config file. That is, in the
config file there would be something like:
stop_time = 18:00:00, stopV.
I'm trying to think of a case where opening up this security hole is
even marginally wise, and I'm failing. If you absolutely must prat
around with indirections like this, wouldn't
s = getattr(dialog, variable_containing_the_string_stopV).get()
be a much less unsafe idea?
