I've read several articles on closures and what not but im attempting to create a specific named function
from app.conf import html_helpers
# html_helpers = ['img','js','meta']
def _makefunc(val):
def result(): # Make this name of function?
return val()
return result
def _load_func_from_module(module_list):
for module in module_list:
m = __import__("app.system.contrib.html.%s" % (module,), fromlist="*")
for attr in [a for a in dir(m) if '_' not in a]:
if attr in html_helpers and hasattr(m, attr):
idx = html_helpers.index(attr)
html_helpers[idx] = _makefunc(getattr(m,attr))
def _load_helpers():
""" defines what helper methods to expose to all templates """
m = __import__("app.system.contrib.html", fromlist=['elements','textfilter'])
modules = list()
for attr in [a for a in dir(m) if '_' not in a]:
print attr
modules.append(attr)
return _load_func_from_module(modules)
img return a modified string like so when i call _load_helpers i want to modify the existing list of strings to those functions im calling.
is this possible and am i making any sense because i am confused :(
