Re: naming objects from string

Hi,

But this doesn't work if I do:

a=object()
x='bob'
locals()[x] = a

How can I do this?

Hi,

If I have a string, how can I give that string name to a python object,
such as a tuple.

e.g.

a = 'hello'
b=(1234)

and then a function
name(b) = a

which would mean:
hello=(1234)

is this possible?


Depends on your namespace, but for the local namespace, you can use this:

py> a = object()
py> a
<object object at 0x40077478>
py> locals()['bob'] = a
py> bob
<object object at 0x40077478>

A similar approach can be used for the global namespace.
