The following code:
def functions():
l=list()
for i in range(5):
def inner():
return i
l.append(inner)
return l
print [f() for f in functions()]
returns [4,4,4,4,4], rather than the hoped for [0,1,2,3,4]. I presume
this is something to do with the variable i getting re-bound every time
we go through the loop, or something, but I'm not sure how to fix this.
I've found the ability in python to create functions on the fly and
store and index them for later use incredibly powerful, so it'd be nice
to get past this little roadblock. 4 1124 tr***********@y ahoo.com wrote:

The problem is that "i" inside the function is indeed
the same variable for all the functions (the one you're
using for looping).
If you want a different variable for each function
you can use the somewhat ugly but idiomatic
def functions():
l=list()
for i in range(5):
def inner(i=i):
return i
l.append(inner)
return l
this way every function will have its own "i" variable,
that is initialized with the value of the loop variable
when executing the "def" statement.

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed.

free variables bind to *names*, not objects. all your functions will
refer to the name "i" in "function"' s scope, which is bound to a 4 when
the loop has finished.
you can use the default argument mechanism to explicitly bind to an
object instead of a name:
def functions():
l=list()
for i in range(5):
def inner(i=i):
return i
l.append(inner)
return l

Yet another way to skin the same cat, maybe even less ugly, depending on taste.
def make_inner(i):
def inner():
return i
return inner
def functions():
return [make_inner(i) for i in range(5)]
print [f() for f in functions()]

I'd like to be able to get the name of an object instance from within

The example below works by passing in the name of the object instance
(in this case 'myDog'). Of course it would be better if I could
somehow know from within write() that the name of the object instance
was 'myDog' without having to pass it as a parameter.

I have a problem with an MS Access SQL query which is being used in an

Hi,
I encountered garbage collection behaviour that I didn't expect when
using a recursive function inside another function: the definition of
the inner function seems to contain a circular reference, which means
it is only collected by the mark-and-sweep collector, not by reference
counting. Here is some code that demonstrates it:
