How do I iterate over imported methods in a list?

[Maurice Waka]

in my web2py app, i created this code that works well in python shell.

python modules:

#The methods work in such a way that a user inputs an equation query to get an answer. If it is an addition, method1 works it out, the same to other methods being invoked to performing different codes

def method1():# to do additions

    name = input('Please Enter equation here: ').lower()

    if '1 + 1':

        answer = code

        return answer

def method2():# to do subtractions

    name = input('Please Enter equation here: ').lower()

    if '1 - 1':

        answer = code

        return answer

in the controller, I imported the methods as follows. There are many more methods than these shown

from applications ...... import method1

from applications ...... import method2

from applications ...... import method3

from applications ...... import method4

method1 = method1

method1 = method2

method1 = method3

method1 = method4

G0 = [method1, method2, method3, m3thod4]

def Foo():

    code..

    for (func) in G0:

        return func()

The problem is that only method1 which is at position[0] in the list is invoked and not other methods. I want to randomly call any method when a user inputs any query.

method1 = method1

method1 = method2

method1 = method3

method1 = method4

Why do you make four assignments to the same variable?

G0 = [method1, method2, method3, m3thod4]

def Foo():

    code..

    for (func) in G0:

        return func()

The problem is that only method1 which is at position[0] in the list is invoked and not other methods. I want to randomly call any method when a user inputs any query.

Your function returns within the first loop iteration, so of course it only runs the first method. What are you really trying to do?

It is very difficult to see what you are trying to accomplish in those functions.  But if your intent is to run through multiple functions, returning
results, one way is with "yield":

def runfuncs():
    for func in g0:
        yield(func())
       
for result in runfuncs():
    print "result: ",result
