Determining at runtime that a particular function exists seems expensive if you have control over the source file that defines the target and the function that needs to know. I imagine there is Python code that generates functions on the fly, and introspection would be needed to handle that properly, but I think that's a special case. Of course, I don't know for sure the OP's use case, so I may not be addressing those needs at all, but I like simple and cheap. /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
