RE: c[:]()

Hey Douglas,

Perhaps I was being too abstract? Here goes:

,-------------------------------
| def selector():
| ...
| return funcKey #get down get down
|
| def func():
| ...
| funcSwitch = {}
| funcSwitch[funcKey] = func
| ...
| funcSwitch[selector()]()


even more interesting is a

,----------------------------------------
| def judge(contestants):
| for contestant in contestants:
| ...
| if answersQuestionToSatisfaction:
| yield semiFinalist
|
| beauty[judge(beauty)]()

hmmmm, I suppost you could just call

judge(beauty)

and have the judge call the contestant personally.
But that may be *too* personal. Moreover, what about
the other judges? Wouldn't it be best to simply state:

beauty[judges[:](beauty)].thankyouForThisOpportunity()

This allows each judge to choose differently while all
the contestants behave consistently. It kind of like an
off the cuff decorator for generators, where

beauty[...].decoration()

Maybe there's a better way of doing this? I don't know.


def a(): return 'b'
def b(): print 'polly! wakey wakey'
c = {}
c['a'] = b
c[a()]() #works!


(typo correction for other easily-confused newbies like myself)

I think you mean
,----
| c['a']() #works!
`----


Oh no, I get it, you meant...
,----
| c['b'] = b
| c[a()]() #works!
`----

...or was it?:-
,----
| def a(): return 'a'
`----
