Re: Question about namespaces and import. How to avoid calling os.system

[Pekka Niiranen]

Thanks,

I will analyse these 4 options and select the most suitable
since there are other issues involved too, like
the main.py reads contents of a file to a list that gets
passed to the gen.py with dictionary env_params.
I try to avoid parsing the contents of the file both
in main.py and in gen.py

 call a function in the gen.py with env_params as a parameter

PN Hi there,
PN I have two scripts. The first main.py sets some variables
PN and then imports another called gen.py. The idea is to
PN provide main.py that defines some paths, variables etc.
PN without using Windows environment variables. Various other hackers
PN will make additional Python scripts (subroutines) like gen.py
PN that utilize variables set by the main.py and which main.py calls.
PN I can do this with subprocess module by setting its env -variable
PN but I try to avoid calling shell. How can I merge temporary
PN the namespaces of the two modules?

The built-in execfile should do the trick.
