Passing vim functions to vim's inbuilt python

Question

I am trying to set a python variable in vim using vimscript output. The following code is causing the issue:

 python os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = split(expand("%:p:h"), "\/")[4].'.settings'

The issue is that i am running a line of python code, but want everything after the "=" sign to be evaluated by vim, as I want to assign the value of the :split(expand("%:p:h"), "\/")[4].'.settings' vim command to the python variable os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE']

How can I do this?

Try something like this:

import vim
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = \
    vim.eval("""expand("%:p:h")""").split('/')[4] + '.settings'

Fantastic, thank you very much! To insert this into a .vimrc, the following lines are what do it. python import vim <NEW-LINE> python os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = vim.eval("""split(expand("%:p:h"), "\/")[4].'.settings'""")
