Consider the following code: -------------------------------------------------8<-------------------------------------------------- #+NAME: test #+BEGIN_SRC python :var x="foobar" return len(x) #+END_SRC -------------------------------------------------8<-------------------------------------------------- It is possible to call this, as follows: -------------------------------------------------8<-------------------------------------------------- #+CALL: test(x="fb") -------------------------------------------------8<-------------------------------------------------- However, I fail to call this function and pass an argument to it when using org-sbe: -------------------------------------------------8<-------------------------------------------------- | 6 | #ERROR | #+TBLFM: @1$1='(org-sbe test)::@1$2='(org-sbe test (x ("fb"))) -------------------------------------------------8<-------------------------------------------------- I tried several possibilities, but nothing worked. Is it at all possible? Thanks in advance, Dror PS: I posted also a SE question: http://stackoverflow.com/q/25789183/671013
