pypyr release v4.4.0

simplified py step syntax & imports for !py strings.

Release Date: 2020-12-26T15:50:27Z

New step pypyr.steps.pyimport to import references to the !py string namespace.
- This includes an underlying api signature change by removal of pypyr.utils.expressions.eval_string(), but this is sufficiently far down the call-chain that it shouldn’t affect any normal pipeline operator or api consumer.
pypyr.steps.contextclearall wipes pyimport imported references in addition to the key/values inside context.
Simplify pypyr.steps.py syntax by allowing a new py (rather than pycode) input. This allows pipeline authors to use context key names directly as variables, rather than have to specify them as keys in context (my_var vs context[‘my_var’]).
- See pypyr.steps.py for details on how to use the new style input.
- the old pycode style will keep on working in the same way, so no need to worry about backwards compatibility for your existing pipelines.
Allow substitutions on retry max. Resolves #207. Excellent bug find & fix by @Reskov, much thanks 🙌 🙌 🙌 as ever for a superb contribution! 🔥 🔥 🔥
foreach can now use any iterable, including generators. See how you can use this for flattening nested for loops to simplify your pipelines when you have multiple nested foreach loops.
