Python: getting a reference to a function from inside itself

Question

If I define a function:

def f(x):
    return x+3

I can later store objects as attributes of the function, like so:

f.thing=\"he         


        

Answer 1

The same way, just use its name.

>>> def g(x):
...   g.r = 4
...
>>> g

>>> g(3)
>>> g.r
4
