class MyClass:
def __init__(self, i):
self.i = i
def get(self):
func_name = 'function' + self.i
self.func_name() # <-- this does NOT work.
def function1(self):
pass # do something
def function2(self):
pass # do something
This gives the error: TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
How would I go about doing this?
Note: self.func_name also does not work
def get(self):
def func_not_found(): # just in case we dont have the function
print 'No Function '+self.i+' Found!'
func_name = 'function' + self.i
func = getattr(self,func_name,func_not_found)
func() # <-- this should work!
Two things:
In line 8 use,
func_name = 'function' + str(self.i)
Define a string to function mapping as,
self.func_options = {'function1': self.function1,
'function2': self.function2
}
So it should look as:
class MyClass:
def __init__(self, i):
self.i = i
self.func_options = {'function1': self.function1,
'function2': self.function2
}
def get(self):
func_name = 'function' + str(self.i)
func = self.func_options[func_name]
func() # <-- this does NOT work.
def function1(self):
//do something
def function2(self):
//do something
self.func_nameyou do not even access the local variablefunc_name. You are trying to access an instance variable namedclass nameinsideself- but such variable does not exist.
