Help me abstract this (and stop me from using eval)
Hi!
I've got import scripts for a bunch of csv files into an sqlite database. I
have one csv file per language. I don't write directly to the sqlite db; this
is a django app and I'm creating items in my django models.
My script (scripts, unfortunately) work just fine, but it feels beyond stupid
to have one script per language--importgerman, importfrench etc. The problem is
that I don't know how to abstract which language I'm currently writing to.
Here's the central loop:
http://pastebin.com/NBT6feNB
This is for the Polish version of the script, of course, the one that gets fed
pl.csv. For those unfamiliar with django, I need to first retrieve the message
instance for issue name / long text / short text / category name. Hence the
ugly tempmes stuff.
So ideally I would tell the script which language I'm currently importing and
based on that it would write to the appropriate text fields. But I don't know
how to abstract this:
tempmes.polish = row[1]
Well, I do. Like this:
eval("tempmes." + language + " = row[1]")
But... eval is evil, no? There's got to be a better way?
