hy

Access attribute and method names with slashes or asterisks defined in Hy from Python

If I were to do the following:

(setv a/b 12)

How would I access the variable in Python, such as from a regular python module, or simply using (py)?

(py "print(a/b)")
Solution

  • With mangling:

    => (setv a/b 12)
=> a/b
12
=> (hy.mangle "a/b")
"hyx_aXsolidusXb"
=> hyx_aXsolidusXb
12
=> (py "print(hyx_aXsolidusXb)")
12
=> (py "print(globals()[hy.mangle('a/b')])")
12
