Re: [Jython-dev] python interpreter and conditional statements

[Titus B. <ti...@ca...>]

-> Hi, perhaps you can help.  As a python and jython newbie I am trying to

-> 
-> String erpFormula = ( "if ( 10 * math.log10( TransmitPower ) > 10 and 
-> LineLoss + RadomeLoss > 6 ): resultant = 20; else: resultant = 10" );
-> 
-> PythonInterpreter interp = new PythonInterpreter();
-> interp.exec( erpFormula );
-> 
-> The runtime error is: Syntax error: invalid syntax. Evidentally it chokes on 
-> the else keyword.
-> 
-> If I remove the else..., it runs correctly.

The above statement isn't valid in (C)Python, either; I'd suggest you create
a multiline string.  I'm not sure how to fit the 'else' statement in on the
end of a single line...
