rexec question

[Jeremy Hylton]

There are two completely seperate namespaces that come into play with
rexec.  The first is the namespace of the "controlling code," i.e. the 
part of your program that created the RExec.  The second is the
namespace of the "controlled code," i.e. the code you're running
inside the RExec.  Names defined in one namespace do not appear in the 
other namespace.

If you want to names 'foo' or 'o' to be visible in the RExec, you need 
to define them there.  For example:

Python 1.5.2+ (#11, Jun 22 1999, 18:01:08) [C] on sunos5
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
startup
>>> import rexec
>>> code = """class foo:
...     def start(self):
...         print "foo running"
... 
... o = foo()
... o.start()
... """
>>> 
>>> filter = rexec.RExec()
>>> filter.r_exec(code)
foo running
>>>
