How to call a function stored in another file from a Python program?

Question

If I have a text file that contains a python function definition, how can I make the function call from another Python program. Ps: The function will be defined in the Pytho

Answer 1

I am not sure what is your purpose, but I suppose that you have function in one program and you do want that function run in another program. You can "marshal" function from first to second.

Example, first program:

# first program
def your_func():
    return "your function"

import marshal
marshal.dump(your_func.func_code, file("path/function.bin","w"))

Second program:

# Second program

import marshal, types
code = marshal.load(file("path/function.bin"))
your_func = types.FunctionType(code, globals(), "your_func")

print your_func()
# >your function
