Add attributes to function in python

[Raviexact]

Hi,

I would like to add some descriptions to functions on top of every function

ex :

[Name = 'Test menu', Default=True, etc..]
def test():
pass


My actual scenario is , I create Menus dynamically by reading all methods from a module at run time.

So i don't want to take menu name as test, i want user to provide menu name on his wish in "Name" attribute of a function. There will be more attribute, not only Name.
Is there any possibility in python, please anyone guide me ?

You can add attributes and associated values to function objects.

>>> def test():
...     print 'test'
...     
>>> setattr(test, 'menu', 'bill')
>>> test.menu
'bill'

I am wondering if function default arguments are what you really want.

>>> def test(name="Test Menu", default=True):
...     if default is True:
...         print "Name of menu: %s" % (name)
...         
>>> test()
Name of menu: Test Menu
>>>
