SafeEvaluator

class SafeEvaluator(safedict=None, defaultSafe=True)

This class provides a safe eval replacement.

The method eval() will only evaluate the expressions considered safe (whitelisted). By default it has a whitelist of mathematical expressions that can be turn off using defaultSafe=False at init

The user can add more safe functions passing a safedict to the addSafe() or init methods.

Functions can be removed by name using removeSafe()

Note: In order to use variables defined outside, the user must explicitly declare them safe.

Import from taurus.core.util.safeeval as:

from taurus.core.util.safeeval import SafeEvaluator

addSafe(safedict, permanent=False)

The values in safedict will be evaluable (whitelisted)

The safedict is as follows: {“eval_name”:object, …}. The evaluator will interpret eval_name as object.

eval(expr)

safe eval

getSafe()

returns the currently whitelisted expressions

removeSafe(name, permanent=False)

Removes an object from the whitelist

resetSafe()

restores the safe dict with wich the evaluator was instantiated
