Function Details

interpolate(text, filepath=None, lineno=-1, offset=0, lookup='strict')

 

Parse the given string and extract expressions.

This function is a generator that yields TEXT events for literal strings, and EXPR events for expressions, depending on the results of parsing the string.

>>> for kind, data, pos in interpolate("hey ${foo}bar"):
...     print('%s %r' % (kind, data))
TEXT 'hey '
EXPR Expression('foo')
TEXT 'bar'
Parameters:
  • text - the text to parse
  • filepath - absolute path to the file in which the text was found (optional)
  • lineno - the line number at which the text was found (optional)
  • offset - the column number at which the text starts in the source (optional)
  • lookup - the variable lookup mechanism; either "lenient" (the default), "strict", or a custom lookup class
Returns:
a list of TEXT and EXPR events
Raises:
