# This subroutine takes a string, which may have embedded Python code, and
# executes that embedded code, returning the resulting string.  It is useful
# for things like dynamically producing webpages.
#
# We first execute any code in [!! ... !!].  Then we evaluate any code in
# [?? ... ??].  We do allow nested block of executed code.  To use a nested
# block, include an integer in the block delimiters, ex: [1!! ... !!1]
#
# You can pass an errorLogger function to runPythonCode.  This function
# will be called to print additional error messages.  Default is 
# sys.stdout.write().
#
# Use the special function "OUTPUT" inside the embeded Python code to add text
# to the output.
#
# Here is a sample of using replcode:
#
# >>> import replcode
# >>> input_text = """
# ...     Normal line.
# ...     Expression [?? 1+2 ??].
# ...     Global variable [?? variable ??].
# ...     [!!
# ...         def foo(x):
# ...         	return x+x !!].
# ...     Function [?? foo('abc') ??].
# ...     [!!
# ...         OUTPUT('Nested call [?? variable ??]') !!].
# ...     [!!
# ...         OUTPUT('''Double nested [1!!
# ...                       myVariable = '456' !!1][?? myVariable ??]''') !!].
# ... """
# >>> global_dict = { 'variable': '123' }
# >>> output_text = replcode.runPythonCode(input_text,global_dict)
# >>> print output_text
#
#     Normal line.
#     Expression 3.
#     Global variable 123.
#     .
#     Function abcabc.
#     Nested call 123.
#     Double nested 456.
