python - Assigning a function (which is assigned dynamically) along with specific parameters, to a variable. -

ok, here's deal, have function( take_action ), calls function. don't know function take_action going call.

i had part figured out this question, thing is, on question deal functions take no arguments, take_action take 1 of several different functions quite different each other, different actions taken, different arguments.

now example code:

def take_action():     action['action']()     #does other stuff 'other_stuff_in_the_dic'  def move(x,y):     #stuff happens  action = {'action': move, 'other_stuff_in_the_dic': 'stuff' } 

(in case 'action' move, said, that's assigned dynamically depending on user input)

what do, this:

action = { 'action': move(2,3), 'other_stuff': 'stuff' } 

(obviously calls function there, since has (), hence wouldn't work)

i'm beginner programmer, , thing thought of using list, in key inside dic, pass 1 list argument, instead of each content of list being passed on argument.

what way achieve this, 'action' key (or dictionary on key?) stores arguments should use when call on take_action?

use functools.partial() store functions arguments:

from functools import partial  action = {'action': partial(move, 2, 3), 'other_stuff': 'stuff'} 

calling action['action']() results in move(2, 3) being called.
