Question

I am using argparse in my python program and I want to call a method when I run my software like this :

$ python __init__.py foo

It is easy if I want to call a function instead of a method :

def foo(args):
    pass

def main():
    foo_parser.set_defaults(func=foo)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

How can I replace “func=foo” by “func=MyClass.my_method” ?

Answer 1

You just refer to the method instead of the function. Yup. It’s that easy. Instead of

 func = foo

You do

 func = theobject.foo

Done!
