Create Python Function

Creates a Python function within the repository system.

Terminal

create function <func_name> as <script.Func> using '<script.py>';

create function <func_name> as <script.Func> using '<script.py>';

#!/bin/bash

# Create Python Function
create function {{func_name}} as {{script.Func}} using '{{script.py}}';

import subprocess

# Create Python Function
# Make sure to replace <placeholders> with actual values
def run_command():
    cmd = [
        "create",
        "function",
        "<func_name>",
        "as",
        "<script.Func>",
        "using",
        "'<script.py>'",
        ";"
    ]
    
    try:
        print(f"Executing: {' '.join(cmd)}")
        subprocess.run(cmd, check=True)
    except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")
    except FileNotFoundError:
        print("Error: create not found. Please install it first.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    run_command()

When To Use

When integrating Python-based functionality into the project.

Pro Tip

Ensure the script is compatible with the project version of Python to avoid runtime discrepancies.

Command Builder

Tune the command before you copy it

Back to syntax

Generated Command

create function <func_name> as <script.Func> using '<script.py>';

Anatomy of Output

Understanding the result

Creating function '{{func_name}}' from '{{script.Func}}'. Function Creation Status

Indicates progress in creating the function.

Using Python script located at '{{script.py}}'. Script Location

Specifies where the Python file is sourced.

Function '{{func_name}}' created successfully! Completion Message

Final confirmation of successful creation.

Troubleshooting

Common pitfalls

ERROR: Script file '{{script.py}}' not found.

Solution: Double-check the script path and ensure file availability.

ERROR: Function '{{script.Func}}' does not exist in '{{script.py}}'.

Solution: Ensure the function is defined in the script.

ERROR: Invalid function name '{{func_name}}'.

Solution: Check against Python naming conventions.
