when doing some heavy optimization, I recently found myself writing:
def foobar(arg1, arg2, arg3):
def helper(arg):
do something with arg1 and argument
def foo():
do something with arg1 and arg3 and
call helper
def bar():
do something with arg1 and arg2
def zoo():
do something with arg2 and arg3 and
call helper
# oops; how do I return all these?
class bag(object):
pass
bag = bag()
bag.foo = foo
bag.bar = bar
bag.zoo = zoo
return bag
which, I think, deserves no further comment...
