generating byte code from compiler.parse output

[Chris Wright]

After Martin's gentle prodding, I came up with the code below
(without error checking etc....)

I am very grateful !

cheers

------------------

from compiler import parse, syntax
from misc import set_filename
from pycodegen import ModuleCodeGenerator

class Test:
    def __init__(self):
        pass

def munge_code_string(s):
    m = parse(s)
    set_filename("<string>", m)
    syntax.check(m)
    print m
    gen = ModuleCodeGenerator(m)
    c = gen.getCode()
    return c


code_string = """
def f(x):
    print x
"""

if __name__ == '__main__':
    t = Test()
    code = munge_code_string(code_string)
    exec code in globals(), t.__dict__
    print dir(t)
    t.f(4)
