Arithmetics: Access python library

[shushustorm]

Hey everyone!
Is there a way to access a python library via Arithmetics?
I’d like to call some methods from secrets:

secrets — Generate secure random numbers for managing secrets

Best wishes,

I believe you will have to edit the arithmetic plugin to specify additional imports you want access to

Allow C-style type specifiers for Arithmetic calculator

The arithmetic plugin uses eval to evaluate the expression. It would be possible to ignore suffixes of numbers like that if you strip them with a regex replace before. In fact, you can apply the following changes using the ViewPackageResource package: --- Shipped Packages/Default/arithmetic.py 2019-03-01 16:50:58 +++ Packages/Default/arithmetic.py 2019-08-07 18:17:02 @@ -1,5 +1,6 @@ import sublime_plugin import math +import re def try_eval(str): @@ -11,6 +12,7 @@ def eval_expr(orig,…

You can use the builtin __import__ function to import a module inline, eg: __import__("math").cos.

Thanks for your replies @kingkeith and @bschaaf !
Both suggestions were quite helpful! I edited the arithmetics.py to include “(i%10) + 1” rather than “i + 1” as a standard and now got secrets.randbelow(x) running as an argument for Arithmetics from a shortcut via macro!

Excuse me, what is the builtins, it is a wrapped package? Where can I find it?

[bschaaf]

It’s built into python, which is what the arithmetic command evaluates.
