Eval Problem

[J. Cliff Dyer]

OK.

You still haven't shown the code where tableTop gets defined, so your
code is unrunnable.  However, I think your problem is that wherever
tableTop lives, it isn't part of your globals or locals in eval.  See
the documentation on evals here:

http://www.python.org/doc/1.4/lib/node26.html

Something like the following might work:

print eval(line, {'tableTop': tableTop})

Cheers,
Cliff
