[SciPy-user] floating characters

[Matthew Hellman]

Hi,
  I was wondering if anyone had a method for converting a stringType to
an assignableType using characters.  For instance, if I read in
characters and then wanted to assign mathematical equations to them, 'r'
would be converted to r.  Essentially, I'd want to create an array of
equations as:

array(r, l, t, rl)

not array('r', 'l', 't', 'rl')

after reading in 'r','l','t','rl' where r,l,t,rl have all been assigned
different equations that can be evaluted for different values at
different times.

Thanks,
Matt
