Like.
for func in max, min:
print(func.__name__, func(range(5)))
Output.
max 4
min 0
I wouldn't say I enjoy making life difficult for myself, but it is one
of my strengths ;)
That would work, I think, for the function example I gave you, but the
example I gave in response to Danny used the same trick on lists: that
is, I want to iterate through a bunch of lists, subsequently printing
both list members (via indexing, for example) and the name of the list
I'm on. I might even want to do the same of a dict, or some random data
structure. Unless it's just really a bad idea to code like this. But
certainly when the .__name__ attribute is available, that makes more
sense. I'll change that part.
lista = list(range(5))
listb = list(reversed(range(5)))
for alist in lista, listb:
print(alist.__class__.__name__, alist)
list [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
list [4, 3, 2, 1, 0]

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
