Hi, I have an installer script that contains lots of little functions. It has an interactive menu and the corresponding function is called. Over time it grew long and when I want to add a new function, I should give a unique name to that function. However, Python allows the redefinition of functions:
#!/usr/bin/env python def step_1(): print 1 def step_1(): print 2 step_1() This will call the 2nd function. Now my functions are called step_ID (like step_27(), step_28(), etc.). How to avoid the danger of redefinition? Now, when I write a new function, I search for its name to see if it's unique but there must be a better way. Thanks, Laszlo P.S.: the script is here ( https://github.com/jabbalaci/jabbatron ) if you are interested. It's made for Ubuntu. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
