How to use a variable as function name in Python

Question

Would it be possible to use a variable as a function name in python? For example:

list = [one, two, three]
for item in list:
    def item():
         some_st         


        

Answer 1

The short answer is no. When you declare a variable, you have bound a name to an object. The same is true when you declare a function. You can try it out for yourself in a python console and see what happens:

>name=1
>name
1
>def name(x): print(x+1)

>name
