That's a problem right there. As soon as you find yourself needing to
distinguish between "great_name the function" and "great_name the
argument", you have a potential source of API confusion, no matter how
great the name is.
But if you absolutely must:
def _gn(x):
return x.upper()
great_name = _gn
class myclass:
def mymethod(self, great_name=False):
if great_name:
return _gn('something')
else:
return 'something'
