support for class instant variables. (self.abc)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

class t:
    def __init__(self):
        self.t = 1
    def test(self, a):
        numexpr.evaluate('a + self.t')
test = t()
t.test(2)

I think evaluate() should be able to process 'self.t' but it doesn't

test(2) #This is right. sorry for mistyping

You can get the answer you want using the optional local_dict parameter:

numexpr.evaluate('a + t', local_dict = {'a': a, 't': self.t})

but isn't it natural to support it directly?? It seems it's just a matter of 
parsing

Well, sorry but I don't think this should be implemented. If enough other 
people think it's a good idea *and* somebody submit a patch, I might apply it. 
Until then I'll close this issue as Wontfix.

I feel like this is important. I understand if you don't have time, but I'd 
like to see this ability also. Array slicing is more important, though!
