merge variables from one module into another

[devnull]

I want to use the same python code with different devices and want to do this by using a gpio.py file that will contain all of the gpio definitions as well as some common functions.

the gpio.py will be called in several files, and the boot.py file will be the only file that gets changed to define which device pins file to use.

I will have multiple pins files, i.e pins_8266. pins_pyb, pins_esp32 and

gpio.py

Code: Select all

_power = 10
power = mc.Pin(_power, mode=mc.Pin.OUT)

def init(pins):
  import pins
  for var in dir():
    if not var.startswith("__"):
        this.var = pins[var]

pins_8266.py

Code: Select all

_power = 15

pins_pyb.py

Code: Select all

_power = 12

boot.py

Code: Select all

import gpio
gpio.init('pins_pyb')

The gpio.init() function is 'pseudo code' as of course this won't work, but how can I efficiently load all of the variables from the imported file to override the local variables without turning the gpio file into a class and using this.xxx ?

Just tried this as an alternative method but it does not work:

Code: Select all

def init(pins):
  from pins import *
  globals().update(locals())
 

[devnull]

Oops, answering my own question, but maybe someone else will find this useful:

Code: Select all

def init(pfile='pins'):
  pins = __import__(pfile)
  for var in dir(pins):
    if not var.startswith("__"):
      globals()[var] = getattr(pins,var)

But is the 'best' way ??

I don't konw what the best way is but locals() doesn't work in micropython.

I know that I can do this to import a complete module:

Code: Select all

from network import *

But how can I import a module's class the same way ?

Code: Select all

from network import WLAN as wlan
from wlan import *
