How can a function access its own attributes?

Question

is it possible to access the python function object attributes from within the function scope?

e.g. let\'s have

def f():
    return          


        

Answer 1

Another way to accomplish this is to define the function inside another function, and have the outer function return the inner one. Then the inner function can access itself via a closure. Here's a simple example:

def makeFunc():
    def f():
        return f._x
    return f

Then:

>>> f = makeFunc()
>>> f._x = "foo"
>>> f()
'foo'
>>> g = f
>>> del f
>>> g()
'foo'
