Store Python function in JSON

Question

Say I have a JSON file as such:

{
  \"x\":5,
  \"y\":4,
  \"func\" : def multiplier(a,b):
               return a*d
}

This over-simplif

Answer 1

Something that is worth trying is just saving it as a string.

You can do stuff like

my_func = "
def function(a,b):
   constant = {input_var}
   return a*b + constant
"
my_func.format(input_var = 5)

exec(my_func)
function(1,2) # will return 7

This will create object of the function that you can call. Not really sure what you are trying to do but creating a json file like below should give you what you want to do: (I added the 'func' wrapper because I am assuming you will have multiple functions in one JSON)

function_json = {
'func': {
    'x':5
    'y':4
    'multiplier':
'def multiplier(a,b):
    return a*b'
}

x=function_json['func']['x']
y=function_json['func']['y']
exec(function_json['func']['multiplier'])
multiplier(x,y) # will return 20

hope this helps
