[Tutor] What Eval() Hath Men Wrought

[Tim Johnson]

<gr>Couldn't resist that subject since I hear
the eval (the built-in) is 'evil'. </gr>

I've been looking through the Python Cookbook, and
there's an example at 
  http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/66018
look for 
  class Eval:
     # ...... code following

This appears to be a handy class, but given the concerns about
built-in function eval, I would welcome comments and caveats.

Thanks
tim
