I tried to add 4 methods in a list (methodList):
def setVar(self, number):
self.var = number
methodList = list()
for y in range(4):
methodList.append(setVar(self, y))
and the function does not work:
>>> self.var = 0
>>> methodList[1]
>>> print(self.var)
0
If it works it would look like this:
>>> self.var = 0
>>> methodList[1]
>>> print(self.var)
1
Then I started the function to see:
>>> print(methodList[1])
None
Where did I go wrong?
Your function does not print anything. So it does not return anything in print .
I made some corrections:
def setVar(number):
var = number
return var
methodList = list()
for y in range(4):
methodList.append(setVar(y))
print(methodList[1])
You do not need to use self for your example because you did not specify a class.
If you want to set some arguments of a method (as your list calls methodList , I imagine you want to save methods, not values), you can use functools.partial . In it you establish a fixed number of arguments, and get back a "partial function":
def setVar(self, number):
self.var = number
methodList = list()
for y in range(4):
methodList.append(functools.partial(setVar, self, y))
self.var = 0
methodList[1]() # self.var agora deve ser 1
