Lets say I have a list of function calls and their respective arguments, something like the following
def printStuff(val1, val2, val3, printGotHere=False, saveValsToFile=False):
allVals = [val1, val2, val3]
if printGotHere:
print('Got Here!')
for val in allVals:
print(val)
if saveValsToFile:
with open('vals.text', 'w') as fp:
for line in allVals:
fp.write("%s\n" % str(line))
funcList = []
funcList.append({'func': printStuff, 'args': [1, 2, 3]})
funcList.append({'func': printStuff, 'args': [4, 5, 6]})
funcList.append({'func': printStuff, 'args': [7, 8, 9]})
for funcAndArgs in funcList:
funcAndArgs['func'](*funcAndArgs['args'])
That works fine, but lets say I want to specify one of the named arguments like "saveValsToFile", without putting any of the other optional variables. So a normal frunction call for that would look like printStuff(1, 2, 3, saveValsToFile=True)
. If I try to put that named variable into a list like the method above, it gives and error... but I'm not sure how to format so it knows to treat it as a named variable. So I want to do something like this
funcList.append({'func': printStuff, 'args': [1, 2, 3, saveValsToFile=True]})
I'm actually calling all of these functions in the lists from through lambda so I can add a thread to a queue, and so I had to make a helper function so can pass more than one argument to the function. Not sure if that changes things, but this is how i have that part setup.
def customFunctionCall(funcArgDict):
return funcArgDict['func'](*funcArgDict['args'])
threads = []
que = Queue()
for funcAndArgs in funcList:
t = threading.Thread(target=lambda q, arg1: q.put(customFunctionCall(arg1)), args=(que, funcAndArgs))
t.start()
threads.append(t)
for t in threads:
t.join()
while not que.empty():
result = que.get()
print(result)
