Yes, that is exactly what I was looking for.  Thank you.  I will read
more about 'locals()', but a quick test proved you right.

'self' is not defined in this circumstance.  The poster above (using
'locals()') has it right.

getattr does not work on a running script (afaik) because 'self' is
undefined.  The poster above got it right using 'locals()'

is there an equivalent of javascript's this[myMethod] for the currently running script?

2005-07-05 Thread markturansky 
I'd like to dynamically find and invoke a method in a Python CGI.

In javascript, the running script is 'this' (Python's 'self'), except
that 'self' is not defined.

I want to do this:

var m = this[MethodName];  //where the method name is passed via an
http variable
m();  //this invokes a method in javascript

How do I do the same in python?

self[MethodName] fails...

Don't know if this is the best solution... but you need something around 
the lines of:

  def foo():
... print bar
...
  m = locals()[foo]
 
  m()
bar
 

i.e., you need to play a bit with locals()

Hope that helps

getattr(self, methodName)()

But make sure to validate user input first, of course.

getattr. Read the documentation, it's all in there.

The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
