conf.py is loaded into the Sphinx by execfile() function [1].
Therefore, there is no dictionary object of conf.py module.
[1] Sphinx-1.1 series is using another code equivalent to the execfile().
I made a minimum working sample.
## conf.py:
# ...
# normal settings ...
# ...
version = release = '1.0'
more = {'release': 'foo', 'version': 'bar'} # parse_yaml() #
return a dictionary
for k in more:
exec("%s = %r" % (k, more[k]))
index.rst::
Welcome to conf.py test
=========================
:release: |release|
:version: |version|
and generated index.txt by `make text`::
Welcome to conf.py test
***********************
release:
foo
version:
bar
> I just found that this seems to work:
> html_theme = 'sphinx'
> k = 'html_theme'
> v = 'basictheme'
> L = locals()
> L[k] = v
> print html_theme # -> gives 'basictheme'
>
> Q: Is that the right and best way to do this?
Hmm.., there is no guarantee that code will always work.
http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#locals
The contents of this dictionary should not be modified; changes may
not affect the values of local and free variables used by the interpreter.
Best regards.
