Sharing Variables between Python and HPppl

[Guenter Schink]

Synchronizing vars in PYTHON and HOME

This can be done by using AVars. Create this PPL Program

Code:

EXPORT test(arg1)
BEGIN
arg1:=arg1+" this is the argument with addition by the PPL";
AVars("arg2"):=AVars("arg2")+" this is the AVars arg2 with addition by PPL";
RETURN {arg1,arg2};
END;

and then this PYTHON program

Code:

from hpprime import *
arg1="arg1 text"
arg2="arg2 text"
eval('AVars("arg2"):='+'"'+arg2+'"')
ttt=eval('test('+'"'+arg1+'"'+')')
eval('PRINT')
print(ttt[0],"\n",ttt[1])

like in the previous post the PYTHON program calls the PPL program with an argument. In addition to that it puts a value into AVars <arg2>. the PPL program does something with the given argument <arg1> and with the AVars<arg2> then it returns the results as a list to the PYTHON program where it may be processed further. In this program the two elements of the list are printed.
