Can we use julia functions with ! postfix in python calls to julia functions

[markNZed]

Hopefully clear in the title. It seems python does not like the ! postfix in function names and I wonder if there is a pythonic way to call a julia function with ! char e.g jl.update!(p) ? I guess using seval would be an option but I would like to pass in a python variable to the julia function.

As a special case, the suffix _b is translated to ! so you can do jl.update_b(p) (b is for bang).

You could also do getattr(jl, "update!") or jl.getproperty(jl, jl .Symbol("update!")).

[cjdoris]

Or jl.seval("update!")(b).

Thanks very much, that works well.
