Dynamic generation of Python function with given parameter names

2018-07-12 07:33 beldaz imported from Stackoverflow

I would like to create functions in my Python3 code, making use of data supplied during run-time. I'm stuck on how I can write a function along the lines of

def foo(varname1, varname2):
    return varname1 + varname2

where the strings varname1 and varname2 that give the parameter names are specified as arguments to some constructor function, e.g.:

def makeNewFooFunc(varname1, varname2):
    # do magic
    return foo

fooFunc = makeNewFooFunc('first', 'second')

print(fooFunc(first=1, second=2))
# should return 3

what would be the #do magic step? Is this a job for eval, or is there an alternative?

    You don't need to write a function like that. just use **kwargs

    def foo_func(**kwargs):
    return sum(kwargs.values())

foo_func(any_name=1, any_name_2=2)

    but if you still need to do what you want, you can try

    def make_new_func(var_name_1, var_name_2):
    def foo(**kwargs):
        # make sure in kwargs only expected parameters
        assert set(kwargs) == {var_name_1,  var_name_2}
        return kwargs[var_name_1] + kwargs[var_name_2]
    return foo

foo_func = make_new_func('a', 'b')

foo_func(a=1, b=2)

    Why is the execution of the dictionary not sequential?

    The question is related to this.

    cmd = {
    "search" : "grep '$img_name =' file",
    "replace" : "sed -i 's/$img_name = $now/$img_name = $word/g' file",
    "check" : "grep '$img_name =' file",

def func(**cmd):
    ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()

    ssh.connect('ip', '22', 'root', '123456')
    results = {}
    for key, value in cmd.items():
        stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command(value)
        results[key] = stdout.read()
    print results

func(**cmd)

    The output is:

    {'search': "\t\t$img_name = $now.'.jpg';\n", 'check': "\t\t$img_name = $now.'.jpg';\n", 'replace': ''}

    I used os.system to execute on the server, check is still executing before replace.

  • Scikit-learn Imputer reducing dimensions when using it twice

    I understand that: "When axis=0, columns which only contained missing values at fit are discarded upon transform." So the first time I use the Imputer all NaN values are replaced by the mean and the columns only contained missing values are replaced. My code:

    df.shape
(1430,488)

#1. delete all columns containing 0
df=df.loc[:, (df != 0).any(axis=0)]
df.shape
(1430,370)

#2. replace all Nan Values with mean
from sklearn.preprocessing import Imputer
imr = Imputer(missing_values='NaN', strategy='mean', axis=0)
imr = imr.fit(df)
imputed_data = imr.transform(df.values)
imputed_data.shape
(1430,321)

#3. replace all 0 Values with mean
from sklearn.preprocessing import Imputer
imr = Imputer(missing_values=0, strategy='mean', axis=0)
imr = imr.fit(df)
imputed_data = imr.transform(df.values)
imputed_data.shape
(1430,167)

    So in the first step i am deleting all columns containing 0 and then in step 2 the imputer is deleting all columns with only NaN. But why is there a reduction of dimension when it comes to step 3 to 167 columns? I already deleted all columns with only 0 in step 1?

    Thank you, R

  • how to include text file as string at compile time without adding c++11 string literal prefix and suffix in the text file

    I'm aware of many similar questions on this site. I really like the solution mention in the following link:

    https://stackoverflow.com/a/25021520/884553

    with some modification, you can include text file at compile time, for example:

    constexpr const char* s = 
#include "file.txt"

    BUT to make this work you have to add string literal prefix and suffix to your original file, for example

    R"(
This is the original content,
and I don't want this file to be modified. but i
 don't know how to do it.
)";

    My question is: is there a way to make this work but not modifying file.txt?

    (I know I can use command line tools to make a copy, prepend and append to the copy, remove the copy after compile. I'm looking for a more elegant solution than this. hopefully no need of other tools)

    Here's what I've tried (but not working):

    #include <iostream>

int main() {
  constexpr const char* s =
#include "bra.txt"  // R"(
#include "file.txt" //original file without R"( and )";
#include "ket.txt"  // )";
  std::cout << s << "\n";
  return 0;
}

  • Problem when modifying function that closes over some variable. Old closure does not fit. Empty closure crashes interpreter

    I want to dynamically add arguments to a function run_func that calls another function.

  • Can't Enter Break Mode at this time Error
