python provides a great way of dynamically creating fuctions calls and class names from string
a function/class name can be stored as string and called/initilzed e.g def foo(a,b): return a+b def blah(c,d): return c*d list = ["foo", "blah"] for func in list: print func(2,4) or similar items what is the way if the names of functions are some modification e.g def Newfoo(a,b): return a+b def Newblah(c,d): return c*d list = ["foo", "blah"] for func in list: print "New"+func(2,4) or define a variable "New"+list[0] = "First Funciton" I think , print "New"+func(2,4) and "New"+list[0] = "First Funciton" will not work, either eval or exec should be used is it correct way, is there a simple way, is this techniqe has a name? thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
