Therefore, variables and modules used in exec statements may cause spurious warnings. To avoid the warnings, consider rewriting your code to use eval() or getattr(). For example, consider rewriting this code: exec 'var = object.' + member print var to: var = eval('object.' + member) print var or: var = getattr(object, member) print var --------------------------------------------------------------------- The following code generates a spurious warning: from XXX import * class SameName: def __init__(self): pass And in the file XXX: class SameName: def __init__(self, c): pass class Anyname: def __init__(self): self.xxx = SameName(1) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
