A def statement defines a function (or method). Once it's defined, the compiler goes on to the next line, and if that's a def statement, it defines that function. So all you need is a text editor. Just understand that code that will call those functions from the top-level needs to be *after* the definition is complete. Code that calls functions from inside a function does not need to be in any particular order. If this isn't what you want, then try composing a ten-line sample, tell us what environment you're running it in, and what you hoped for, and what it did instead. On the other hand, perhaps you're asking how to make indirect calls to functions. A function object can be stored in a 'variable', simply by assigning it without using parentheses. You can then later call that function by naming the object, and following the object with the parentheses. Simple example follows; def func1(name): print function1, running with, name def func2(name): print function2, running with, name funclist = [] funclist.append(func1) funclist.append(func2) funclist.append(func1) funclist[1](Sam) will call func2, and pass it Sam as an argument. Normally, if you're doing this type of thing, you'd be using methods, not functions, but I'm not going to introduce classes unless you're already familiar with them. -- DaveA ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

What do you have in mind by a def statement? def foo(): print 'foo' def bar(): print 'bar' Those are two def statements. You can add as many more as you like? But I suspect that's not really what you mean? I am developing a text based rpg. I don't see whether/how that makes any difference to anything. Telling us which OS and Python version you are using and what programming tools might help though. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
