3.11. FuncProg Function Attributes¶

>>> def hello():
...     return 'Hello World'
>>>
>>>
>>> type(hello)
<class 'function'>

3.11.1. Function Annotations¶

>>> def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
...     return a + b
>>>
>>>
>>> add.__annotations__
{'a': <class 'int'>, 'b': <class 'int'>, 'return': <class 'int'>}

3.11.2. Setattr, Getattr¶

>>> def hello():
...     pass
>>>
>>>
>>> hello.firstname = 'Mark'
>>> hello.lastname = 'Watney'
>>>
>>> print(f'Hello {hello.firstname} {hello.lastname}')
Hello Mark Watney

>>> def hello():
...     return f'Hello {hello.firstname} {hello.lastname}'
>>>
>>>
>>> hello.firstname = 'Mark'
>>> hello.lastname = 'Watney'
>>>
>>> hello()
'Hello Mark Watney'

3.11.3. Function Code¶

>>> def add(a, b):
...     return a + b
>>>
>>>
>>> add.__code__.co_varnames
('a', 'b')
>>>
>>> dir(add.__code__)  
[...,
 'co_argcount',
 'co_cellvars',
 'co_code',
 'co_consts',
 'co_filename',
 'co_firstlineno',
 'co_flags',
 'co_freevars',
 'co_kwonlyargcount',
 'co_lines',
 'co_linetable',
 'co_lnotab',
 'co_name',
 'co_names',
 'co_nlocals',
 'co_posonlyargcount',
 'co_stacksize',
 'co_varnames',
 'replace']

3.11.4. Use Case - 0x01¶

>>> def hello():
...     if not hello.disabled:
...         print('My name... José Jiménez')
...     else:
...         raise PermissionError
>>>
>>>
>>> hello.disabled = False
>>> hello()
My name... José Jiménez
>>>
>>> hello.disabled = True
>>> hello()
Traceback (most recent call last):
PermissionError

3.11.5. Use Case - 0x02¶

>>> def add(a, b):
...     return a + b
>>>
>>>
>>> add(1, 2)
3
>>>
>>> add(1, 2)
3
>>>
>>> add(1, 2)
3

>>> def add(a, b):
...     if not hasattr(add, '_cache'):
...         setattr(add, '_cache', {})
...     if (a,b) in add._cache:
...         print('Found in cache; fetching...')
...         return add._cache[a,b]
...     else:
...         print('Not in cache; computing and updating cache...')
...         add._cache[a,b] = result = a + b
...         return result
>>>
>>>
>>> add(1, 2)
Not in cache; computing and updating cache...
3
>>>
>>> add(1, 2)
Found in cache; fetching...
3
>>>
>>> add(1, 2)
Found in cache; fetching...
3

3.11.6. Use Case - 0x03¶

>>> def add(a, b):
...     cache = getattr(add, '__cache__', {})
...     if (a,b) not in cache:
...         cache[(a,b)] = a + b
...         setattr(add, '__cache__', cache)
...     return cache[(a,b)]
>>>
>>>
>>> add(1,2)
3
>>>
>>> add(3,2)
5
>>>
>>> add(3,5)
8
>>>
>>> add  
<function add at 0x...>
>>>
>>> add.__cache__
{(1, 2): 3, (3, 2): 5, (3, 5): 8}

3.11.7. Use Case - 0x04¶

def silnia(n):

if not hasattr(silnia, '_cache'):: silnia._cache = {0: 1}
if n not in silnia._cache:: silnia._cache[n] = n * silnia(n-1)

return silnia._cache[n]

silnia(10) 3628800

silnia._cache {0: 1,

1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 6, 4: 24, 5: 120, 6: 720, 7: 5040, 8: 40320, 9: 362880, 10: 3628800}
