Here goes an newbie question on python.
From the following function
def singlereader(url, linkGlue):
d = feedparser.parse(url)
tmp = []
for item in d.entries:
tmp.append(item.linkGlue) # line 5
return tmp
how would i use the variable value as the object name for "item" In line 5, i want to use the value of "linkGlue" variable.
If I understood you correctly, use:
getattr(item, linkGlue)
in place of
item.linkGlue
I think the closest you can get here is to leverage operator.attrgetter or using the builtin getattr
def singlereader(url, linkGlue):
from operator import attrgetter
d = feedparser.parse(url)
tmp = []
for item in d.entries:
#tmp.append(attrgetter(linkGlue)(item)) # line 5
tmp.append(getattr(item, linkGlue))
return tmp
