I have a list containing strings like : func1[] func2[1,2] func3[blah]
I want to turn them into method calls (with numeric or string arguments) on a supplied object. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this. Since these lists could be very big, and the methods could be rather complex (mainly graphics manipulation) I would like to start by getting a list of the object's methods and make sure that all the strings are valid. Is there a way to ask an object for a list of it's methods (with argument requirements if possible)? The next question is once I've validated the list, what's the easiest way to turn the list element into a method call? I'll be parsing the string to separate out the method name and arguments. If I store the method name (say func1) in a variable, say var, could I do object.var() and have if call the func1 method in object? Thanks for your help and I'll surely have more questions as I get along, Thanks Basu -- The ByteBaker : http://www.bytebaker.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
