Calling a label w/ arguments... using python

[monele]

Code: Select all

label myfunction (myarg):
    return True
#

How could I call this, pass arguments and get a value in return, using a python function?
Something like...
$ res = call_label("myfunction", somevar)

Or I could do with a way to call a function by giving a string for its name. Is this possible?

Code: Select all

$ funcname = "myfunction"

call expression funcname(myarg)

In Python . I'm in a big python loop so I can't suddenly pull out some Ren'Py code. But I made it work using call_in_new_context since it accepts arguments and does send back the return value. I only noticed one little strange thing : making the returned variable dynamic (with renpy.dynamic) prevents the variable from being returned (it tries to return a variable with the same name from the global scope). Of course, this is all using 6.3.0d, so... maybe it was fixed ^^;.

Hm... this bug was present in the current version of Ren'Py as well, but it will be fixed in the next. Let me know if you want the updated file, so you can develop assuming then new behavior.

Mm, it's okay. I'm using a single variable named "dres" that I'll be sure not to use anywhere else ^_^. And if it does annoy me, I'm sure the next version will have been released by then .
