Passing functions with arguments to another functi

Question

Is it possible to pass functions with arguments to another function in Python?

Say for something like:

def perform(function):
    return function()

But the functions to be passed will have arguments like:

action1()
action2(p)
action3(p,r)

Answer 1

You can use the partial function from functools like so.

from functools import partial

def perform(f):
    f()

perform(Action1)
perform(partial(Action2, p))
perform(partial(Action3, p, r))

Also works with keywords

perform(partial(Action4, param1=p))
