Method and function

Just trying if step.ngc calls remapped g71.8 yet.  g71_8 function error self not defined of method and function self.execute().  Should a class and method from the import interpreter file define self and execute?  Could the interpreter file not be imported?  Python path has interpreter.py and probably all associated import files.  Are any import files missing for the interpreter.py?  Are any other import files expected?  The interpreter would be preference python communicating with ngc including if python iterates loops back and forth with ngc.

An alternative is import linuxcnc and program Neutral Messaging Language (NML) with Python but NML doesn't appear as flexible as the interpreter when communicating to ngc program.  Required would be X and Z axes, some random G, M and F codes.  I seen the Linux Developer Manual and NML messages but not sure which messages to use without enough description.  Some of the NML messages don't have written from and read to files.  Is a more detail description about NML messages and where including commanding X and Z axes, some random G, M and F codes?

step.ngc, a of g71.8 a0.5, parameter error regardless lathe.ini including remap g71.8 modalgroup=1 argspec=a py=g71_8 .  Could the argspec expect angle brackets with parameter but python doesn't accept angle brackets?  Would an ngc file with a remapped G-code and especially parameter accept a python file?

Yes, it's the last image attached foregoing.  They were extracted from the Ubuntu search and Debian directory and placed at the new folder named python.

I was testing importing a file and a one way is from filename import* .  Then revised g71_8.py with from interpreter import* .  Axis, Lathe and Reloaded step.ngc and again error self of self.execute() not defined .  Is still missing some import files?   

Thanks.  self was probably out of scope regardless defined from the interpreter.  self.execute() is operable with one command yet.

g71.8.ngc wouldn't accept parameter a (lowercase) of g71.8 even though remap included argspec=a py=g71_8. Changed to argspec=d and resolved. ngc probably should use an uppercase parameter if remapped g-code, python and using parameter **words.

from filename import * is retrievable from call.ngc as pictured foregoing.  Such a way importloop.py is a library.

g71_8.py the from interpreter import * causes an error upon opening Axis and Lathe.  Presently import interpreter isn't causing an error.  Then supposedly the interpreter class is only retrievable.  The interpreter class is the entire file. 

LinuxCNC_Documentation.pdf and page 329 includes argspec parameter. It appears some uppercase parameters with argspec error too.

g71_8.py the from interpreter import * no error now upon opening Axis and Lathe. interpretor was misspelled that caused error.
