How can I pass my locals and access the variables directly from another function?

Question

Let\'s say I have this :

def a(dict):
  locals().update(dict)
  print size

def b():
  size = 20
  f(locals())

What do I have to do to acc

Answer 1

print size

cannot work, because "size" is not known when the code is compiled. Your code will work if you change it like this:

def a(dict):
    locals().update(dict)
    print locals()["size"]

def b():
    size = 20
    a(locals())

But as the comment to your question already suggests: This is very strange code. I'm very sure that there are better solutions, if you explain what you really want to do.
