This module provides robot keyword execution functions such as run_key..

r"""
Run the given keyword, return the status and the keyword return values.
The advantage of using this function verses having robot simply run your
keyword is the handling of parameters like quiet, test_mode and ignore.
Description of arguments:
keyword_buf The keyword string to be run.
quiet Indicates whether this function should run
the pissuing function to print 'Issuing:
<keyword string>' to stdout.
test_mode If test_mode is set, this function will
not actually run the command. If quiet is
0, it will print a message indicating what
it would have run (e.g. "Issuing:
(test_mode) your command").
ignore Ignore errors from running keyword. If
this is 0, this function will fail with
whatever error occurred when running the
keyword.
Example usage from a robot script:
${status} ${ret_values}= Run Key My Keyword \ Arg1 \ Arg2
Note that to get robot to pass your command + args as a single string to
this function, you must escape extra spaces with a backslash.
Also note that ret_values is a python list:
ret_values:
ret_values[0]: value1
ret_values[1]: value2

Run keyword unconditionally (i.e. without regard to global test_mode
setting).
This function will simply call the run_key function passing on all of the
callers parameters except test_mode which will be hard-coded to 0. See
run_key (above) for details.
See the proglog of "run_key" function above for description of arguments.
