Getting Variables from a file

[Peter Schneider-Kamp]

I would be careful about using this new string attributes.
After all not everyone has 1.6a2 installed.

import string

for line in string.split(vars,"\n"):
  try:
    k,v = string.split(line," = ")
    exec(line)
  except:
    # does not protect you from evil code
    # but may show some mistakes
    print "warning: not an assignment '"+line+"'"
    pass
