<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 580658 by <a href="/recipes/users/2475216/">Dmitry Dvoinikov</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/call/">call</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/decorator/">decorator</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/dispatch/">dispatch</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/function/">function</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/guard/">guard</a>). </p> <p>This module implements a function guard - facility to redirect the the call to one of several function implementations at run time based on the actual call arguments.</p> <p>Wrap each of the identically named functions in a @guard decorator and provide a _when parameter with a default value set to guarding expression.</p> <p>See samples at the top of the module.</p>

Revision 14. </p> <p>In some cases it may be desirable to parse the string expression "f1(*args)" and return some of the key features of the represented function-like call. </p> <p>This recipe returns the key features in the form of a namedtuple. </p> <p>e.g. (for the above)</p> <pre class="prettyprint"><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; explain("f1(*args)") [ Call(func='f1', starargs='args') ] </code></pre> <p>The recipe will return a list of such namedtuples for <code>"f1(*args)\nf2(*args)"</code> Note that while the passed string expression must evaluate to valid python syntax, names needn't be declared in current scope.</p>
