Self-modifying Code

[qwweeeit at yahoo.it]

Hi all,

when I was young I programmed in an interpreted language that allowed
to modify itself.
Also Python can (writing and running a module, in-line):

fNew =open("newModule.py",'w')
lNew=['print 123\n','print 454\n','print 789\n']
fNew.writelines(lNew)
fNew.close()
from newModule import *

Running this small example it correctly displays:
123
456
789

Did you know? Certainly someone has already discovered and applied
that, because the applications are several (think only to the
possibility of reducing code length by eliminating the coding of false
alternatives, or the possibility to convert a list of instructions
taken somewhere in a running code...)

Bye.
