I'd say if you need this feature at all (calling an exposed method
sometimes internally, sometimes externally) your design could be
improved. When I needed something like this I realized that it's much
easier to have dedicated methods for @expose( ) that will only be
called from the outside and dedicated methods without @expose( ) that
will only be called internally. Reason being that this simplifies your
code and you avoid the kinds of hacks you might be tempted to do if
you insist on only one method.
So I always do things like this:
#############################################
def _method( self ):
# do the work
return dict( ..... )
@expose( )
def method( self ):
return self._method( )
#############################################
And so always call _method( ) internally, and method( ) only talks to
the outside world.
HTH,
