FOO = 'bar'
at the module top-level, but I've got 'FOO' as a string and what I
really need to do is
__dict__['Foo'] = 'bar'
When I do that, I get "NameError: name '__dict__' is not defined". Is
it possible to do what I'm trying to do?
test.py:
import sys
varName= 'foo'
setattr(sys.modules[__name__], varName, 42)
in a shell:
import test
print test.foo
>>> 42
