Hi!
I am using a suggestion from this list to handle calling different
functions conditionallly based on user input. What I'm trying to do is
have functions that are 'configurable' in the sense that a choice from
the user affects the way it performs.
This works:
def aFunc():
print "aFunc"
def dispatch(func):
while func is not None:
func = func()
But this does not:
def aFunc(configArg):
print "aFunc with argument"
print configArg
def anotherFunc(configArg):
print "anotherFunc with argument"
print configArg
return aFunc,1
def dispatch(func,configArg):
while func is not None and configArg is not None:
func = func(configArg)
dispatch(anotherFunc,1)
I get TypeErrored:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:/gibberish/current work/test2.py", line 14, in ?
dispatch(aFunc,1)
File "E:/gibberish/current work/test2.py", line 12, in dispatch
func = func(funcArg)
TypeError: 'tuple' object is not callable
I understand *that* a tuple is not callable, but not why this is
happening here, or how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance for your input!
Luke
