    <p>I'm new to programming and I'm interested in if it's possible to use a function to create another function based in inputted information:</p> <pre><code>def get_new_toy(self): new_toy = gui.multenterbox( msg = 'Enter the data for the new toy:', title = 'New Toy', fields = ('Toy Name', 'Fun for 0 to 5', 'Fun for 5 to 7', 'Fun for 7 to 10', 'Fun for over 10')) method = getattr(PotatoHead, new_toy[0]) def method(self): </code></pre> <p>I don't think that I'm doing this right</p> <p>Thankful for any help</p> <p>---Edit---</p> <p>Sorry for not making it clear:</p> <p>I'm creating a virtual pet sort of game for my younger sister.</p> <p>The 'PotatoHead' can 'play' with certain toys as dictated by functions such as this:</p> <pre><code> def play_Softball(self): self.happiness_num = float(self.happiness) if float(self.age) &lt;= 3.0: self.happiness_num = self.happiness_num + 0.3 elif float(self.age) &gt; 3.0 and float(self.age) &lt; 4.0: self.happiness_num = self.happiness_num + 0.7 elif float(self.age) &gt; 4.0 and float(self.age) &lt; 7.0: self.happiness_num = self.happiness_num + 1.0 elif float(self.age) &gt; 7.0 and float(self.age) &lt; 9.0: self.happiness_num = self.happiness_num + 0.5 elif float(self.age) &gt; 9.0: self.happiness_num = self.happiness_num + 0.02 gui.msgbox( msg = 'This toy is Only providing minimal fun to your potato head. Either get a new one or play with another!', title = 'WARNING!', ok_button = 'Understood') self.happiness = str(self.happiness_num) </code></pre> <p>I want there to be a function that allows the creation of a new 'toy' as a function that is similar to the one above.</p> <p>Again, thanks for any help</p> <p>---UPDATE---</p> <p>Thanks again, but just wondering</p> <p>Is it possible to work something such as this into it:</p> <pre><code>'play_' + new_toy[0] = myPotatoHead.create_toy(new_toy[1], new_toy[2], new_toy[3], new_toy[4], new_toy[5]) </code></pre> <p>in this context:</p> <pre><code> def get_new_toy(self): new_toy = gui.multenterbox( msg = 'Enter the data for the new toy:', title = 'New Toy', fields = ('Toy Name', 'Fun for 0 to 3', 'Fun for 3 to 4', 'Fun for 4 to 7', 'Fun for 7 to 9', 'Fun for over 9')) 'play_' + new_toy[0] = myPotatoHead.create_toy(new_toy[1], new_toy[2], new_toy[3], new_toy[4], new_toy[5]) self.toys.append(new_toy[0]) </code></pre> <p>thanks again for any help</p>

    1. COIt's not clear what your goal is here. What do you want your newly created function to do? You can definitely create (and return) a new function from a python function.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
