calling python functions from tdi does not support _variables

[zack-vii]

This is probably one for Tom.
The variable type "Ident" should not be passes as object of itself but its content.
Or in short: Variables should be evaluated (one layer) before sending to python.

_a=1
pytest(_a)

returns

"\<class \'MDSplus.ident.Ident'\>"

instead of

"<class 'MDSplus.mdsscalar.Int32'>"

Since the variable does not exist inside the python environment getting its value will fail.
The same holds for MDSplus.tdibuiltins.builtins_other.*, such as IF_ERROR. However, these could be buffered using:

_b=IF_ERROR(_a,*);pytest(_b)

pytest.py:

def pytest ( arg ):
    return str(type(arg))

I can't reproduce this problem either.

==== pytest.py ====
def pytest(arg):
print(type(arg))

return arg.data()

[twf@fc22-vm tdi]$ tditest
_a=42
_a=42
42
pytest(_a)
pytest(_a)
<class 'MDSplus.ident.Ident'>
42

Hmm, after some resetting, it works now on my machine, too.
Thanks for testing and verifying that it should work.
