dynamically create a function with a specific name
<p>I've read several articles on closures and what not but im attempting to create a specific named function</p>

<pre><code>from app.conf import html_helpers

# html_helpers = ['img','js','meta']

def _makefunc(val):
    def result(): # Make this name of function?
        return val()
    return result

def _load_func_from_module(module_list):
    for module in module_list:
        m = __import__("app.system.contrib.html.%s" % (module,), fromlist="*")
        for attr in [a for a in dir(m) if '_' not in a]:
            if attr in html_helpers and hasattr(m, attr):
                idx = html_helpers.index(attr)
                html_helpers[idx] = _makefunc(getattr(m,attr))

def _load_helpers():
    """ defines what helper methods to expose to all templates """
    m = __import__("app.system.contrib.html", fromlist=['elements','textfilter'])
    modules = list()
    for attr in [a for a in dir(m) if '_' not in a]:
        print attr
        modules.append(attr)
    return _load_func_from_module(modules)
</code></pre>

<p>img return a modified string like  so when i call _load_helpers i want to modify the existing list of strings to those functions im calling.</p>

<p>is this possible and am i making any sense because i am confused :(</p>
