   • How to make a Windows shortcut to run a function in a Python script?

     Generally speaking AFAIK, you can't do it, however it could be done if the target script is written a certain way and is passed the name of the function to run as an argument. You could even add arguments to be passed to the function by listing them following its name in the shortcut.

     The target script has to be set up with an if __name__ == '__main__': section similar to what is shown below which executes the named function it is passed as a command line argument. The input() call at the end is there just to make the console window stay open so what is printed can be seen.

     target_script.py:

     def func1(): print('func1() running')-def func2(): print('func2() running')--if __name__ == '__main__':- from pathlib import Path import sys- print('In module', Path(__file__).name)- funcname = sys.argv[1] vars()[funcname]() # Call named function.- input('\npress Enter key to continue...')-

     To make use of it you would need to create a shortcut with a Target: set to something like:

     python D:\path_to_directory\target_script.py func1

     </b>

     Output:

     In module target_script.pyfunc1() running-press Enter key to continue...-

     Generalizing

     It would also be possible to write a script that could be applied to other scripts that weren't written like target_script.

     run_func_in_module.py:

     import importlib.utilfrom pathlib import Pathimport sys-mod_filepath = Path(sys.argv[1])funcname = sys.argv[2]-# Import the module.spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location(mod_filepath.stem, mod_filepath)module = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)spec.loader.exec_module(module)-# Call the specified function in the module.mod_func = getattr(module, funcname)mod_func()-

     To make use of this version you would need to create a shortcut with a Target: set to something like:

     python D:\path_to_directory\run_func_in_module.py D:\another_directory\target_script.py func2

     </b>

     Note that the target_script.py would no longer need the if __name__ == '__main__': section at the end (although having one would do no harm).

     Indentation is important in Python. Make sure your code is properly indented:

     def two_teams(sailors):- sailors ={'Smith': 34,'Wesson': 22,'Coleman': 45,'davies' : 50,'Abrahams': 19,'Toms': 23} - firstShip =[] secondShip = [] for i in sailors.keys(): if sailors[i] > 40 or sailors[i] < 20: firstShip.append(i) firstShip.sort() else: secondShip.append(i) secondShip.sort() return [ [firstShip], [secondShip] ]

     You should return the variable result from your function first:

     def sum_of_squares_of_digits(a): ... return result-

     And then you can call the function and use a for

     loop to execute it 10 times:

     res = sum_of_squares_of_digits(2) # first call with 2 like in your programfor i in range(10): res = sum_of_squares_of_digits(res) # next 10 calls with the returned value-

     Using your current script:

     sensor_1 = [1,2,3,4,5]-sensor_2 = [6,7,8,9,20,22,23]-def Updater(one, two, divide): updated = [] index = 0 while index < len(one): if index <= divide: updated.append(one[index]) elif index > divide: updated.append(two[index]) else: print('You did something stupid, you ignorant fool!') index += 1 return updatedprint(Updater(sensor_1, sensor_2, 2))

     We get the following output:

     [1]-

     This is because since the return statement is inside of the while loop, once the loop is executed once it will return the first element in sensor_1 and exit the loop immediately. However pushing the return statement back one indentation level:

     sensor_1 = [1,2,3,4,5]-sensor_2 = [6,7,8,9,20,22,23]-def Updater(one, two, divide): updated = [] index = 0 while index < len(one): if index <= divide: updated.append(one[index]) elif index > divide: updated.append(two[index]) else: print('You did something stupid, you ignorant fool!') index += 1 return updatedprint(Updater(sensor_1, sensor_2, 2))

     Output:

     [1, 2, 3, 9, 20]-

   How do I make a function private?

   • The __all__ specifies a list of functions (also variables, and other objects) that are available to the other modules. In other words, you can make a function private by not listing it in the __all__ variable. The following uses the __all__ variable in the mail module to make the send() function public and attach_file() function private:
