mcstasscript.helper.name_inspector.find_python_variable_name

mcstasscript.helper.name_inspector.find_python_variable_name(error_text, n_levels=1)

Finds call in stack n_levels above and gets variable name

This function is used to avoid having to manually specify a name in the method or function inputs. For example with a parameters:

wavelength = instrument.add_parameter(“wavelength”, value=3)

can be equivalent to:

wavelength = instrument.add_parameter(value=3)

When this function is used to deduct the appropriate name. The n_levels is the number of function calls between the user call and this function, for each level of nesting add another level. An error_text should be given for cases where it was not possible to extract the variable name.
