variable creation from a pathname

[gimar]

I wonder if there's a way to assign a value to the object obtained with:

from os.path import *
splitext(basename("c:\pyfiles\sample.txt"))[0] -----> sample

and make it possible something like this, for example:

sample = 123


Thank you in advance.

varname = 'sample'
value = 123
statement = '%s = %s' % (varname, value)
exec(statement) # usual caveats about the danger of exec, blah, blah, blah
print locals()

// m

exec("%s=%d" % (name, myvalue)) # <-- this is what you wanted
print sample

(it will print 123).

Thank you very much.
If myvalue=123 could be myvalue=[], is string formatting also possible ?

I don't understand, what is it that you want to do exactly?
My code was only an example, you can use any python statement in
the exec() call... So the answer to your question is probably "yes"
but I can't write it down because I don't know what you want to do.
