Method Details

__init__(self, show_script=True, quit=True, raise_relax_error=False)
(Constructor)

The interpreter class.

Parameters:

• show_script (bool) - If true, the relax will print the script contents prior to executing the script.
• quit (bool) - If true, the default, then relax will exit after running the run() method.
• raise_relax_error (bool) - If false, the default, then relax will print a nice error message to STDERR, without a traceback, when a RelaxError occurs. This is to make things nicer for the user.

_setup(self)

Set up all the interpreter objects.

All objects are initialised and placed in a dictionary. These will be later placed in different namespaces such as the run() method local namespace.

Returns: dict

The dictionary of interpreter objects.

run(self, script_file=None)

Run the python interpreter.

The namespace of this function is the namespace seen inside the interpreter. All user accessible functions, classes, etc, should be placed in this namespace.

Parameters:

• script_file (None or str) - The script file to be executed. For the interpreter mode, this should be left as None.
