how to define a function from a string using python

Question

this is my code :

a = \\
\'\'\'def fun():\\n
    print \'bbb\'
\'\'\'
eval(a)

fun()

but it shows error :

Traceback (most r         


        

Answer 1

Eval evalutes only expressions, while exec executes statements.

So you try something like this

a = \
'''def fun():\n
    print 'bbb'
'''
exec a

fun()
