Extension of Python's eval -


this question has answer here:

string = "if x > 3 :\n   print(\"x greater\")\nelse :\n   print(\"x lesser\")"  """ prints string indented code of if else statements if x greater 3 x greater else prints x lesser"""  x = 6  eval(string) 

can eval() in python used in way or there i'm missing .

eval used expressions. documentation

the expression argument parsed , evaluated python expression

use exec here

>>> string = "if x > 3 :\n   print(\"x greater\")\nelse :\n   print(\"x lesser\")" >>> x = 6 >>> exec(string) x greater 

however note both statements quite risky use. (see eval dangerous)
