copied!<p>I'd imagine that there would be some way to do it. But I feel compelled to ask, is there really a big enough difference in readability from this</p> <pre><code>Allocation(Param1 = Val1, Param2 = Val2 ) </code></pre> <p>To this:</p> <pre><code>Allocation(Param 1 = Val1, Param 2 = Val2 ) </code></pre> <p>to make that big a difference? I'm sure there's a way to do what you want to do, but my first concern is if the effort involved would be worth the result.</p> <blockquote> <p>my goal is to provide a DSL which can be used for data entry into the system. In the above scenario, params would be people names and values would be percentages.</p> </blockquote> <p>I have a better understanding of what you want to do now, but I still think that you might end up having to sacrifice some readability to get what you want. Personally, I would go with something like:</p> <pre><code>Allocation( { 'name1' : value1, 'name1' : value2, } ) </code></pre> <p>If that's not something you can go with, then you might want to reconsider whether you want to use Python for your DSL or go with something home-grown. Allowing whitespace allows too many ambiguities for most programming languages to allow it.</p> <p>If you still want to pursue this with using python, you might want to consider posting to the C-API SIG (<a href="http://www.python.org/community/sigs/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SIGS</a>) or maybe the <a href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev" rel="nofollow noreferrer">python-dev list</a> (as a last resort). The only way that I can see to do this would be to embed the python interpreter into a C/C++ program and do some kind of hacking with it (which can be difficult!).</p>
