Importing values from vim to python in vim9

[rameo]

I installed vim 9 but still have multiple functions written in old vimscript.

I've read that functions written in old vimscript still work.

However I noticed that importing variables into Python `vim.eval("a:myvariable")` no longer works

I don't always get the right values imported.

Example :

:call MyFunction("12", "14") 

function! MyFunction("variable1, variable2") 

python3 << endpython 

variable1 = vim.eval("a:variable1") 

variable2 = vim.eval("a:variable2") 

print(variable1 + " " + variable2) 

endpython 

endfunction

What's wrong in above code?

Or better... why doesn't it work anymore in vim9?

Do you get an error message? Which one? If this doesn't work anymore,
when did it stop working?

Thanks,
Christian

No message. 

I noticed that the values are no longer correct. I am using the same function more and the values are not refreshed. Old values are kept.

I can't remember exactly when it stopped working. I noticed it today.

I just tested with this:
variable1 = str(vim.bindeval("a:variable1"))
variable2 = str(vim.bindeval("a:variable2"))

This works.

But now it's binary isn't it (b'value')? How do I get it as text again?

Isn't there a better solution?

Thanks,

Rameo

I might be nitpicking, but why are the function parameters in the function definition in quotes?

You are right. The variable names in the above example should be without quotes MyFunction(variable1, variable2) . 

In my functions, they are without quotes.
