obsolete: store metadata as a tuple of (key, value) pairs (API)
Different formats will encode metadata in different ways. So we cannot keep the
binary blob in the object anymore. We use a tuple to ensure it is immutable and
hashable.
import sys
globalvars = {}
lines = sys.stdin.readlines()
while lines:
l = lines.pop(0)
if l.startswith('SALT'):
print l[:-1]
elif l.startswith('>>> '):
snippet = l[4:]
while lines and lines[0].startswith('... '):
l = lines.pop(0)
snippet += l[4:]
c = compile(snippet, '<heredoc>', 'single')
try:
exec c in globalvars
except Exception, inst:
print repr(inst)
