Is it possible to break the execution of a Python script called with the execfile function without using an if/else statement? I've tried exit(), but it doesn't allow main.py to finish. # main.py print "Main starting" execfile("script.py") print "This should print" # script.py print "Script starting" a = False if a == False: # Sa...
I have some code that loads a default configuration file and then allows users to supply their own Python files as additional supplemental configuration or overrides of the defaults: # foo.py def load(cfg_path=None): # load default configuration exec(default_config) # load user-specific configuration if cfg_path: ...
I looked at a number of existing questions about NameError exceptions when scripts are run with exec statements or execfile() in Python, but haven't found a good explanation yet of the following behavior. I want to make a simple game that creates script objects at runtime with execfile(). Below are 4 modules that demonstrate the proble...

I'm working from inside an ipython shell and often need to reload the script files that contain my functions-under-construction. Inside my main.py I have: def myreload(): execfile("main.py") execfile("otherfile.py") Calling myreload() works fine if I have already ran in the same ipython session the execfile commands directly. ...
Using atexit.register(function) to register a function to be called when your python script exits is a common practice. The problem is that I identified a case when this fails in an ugly way: if your script it executed from another python script using the execfile(). In this case you will discover that Python will not be able to locate...
My problem is the following: I would like to open an instance of ipython in a terminal of mine by simply typing, as usual: $ ipython -pylab and be able to have other processes order this ipython instance to execute a file as the execfile() would.
