absolute namespace for callbacks?

[Werner Schiendl]

Con you specify how you intend to register your callback?

somewhat like this?

>>> def test_func(msg):
...  print "Hello in Testfunc, message is:", msg
...  return len(msg)
...
>>> def use_callback(func):
...  print "Function provided as callback is %s", func
...  testdata = "Hello, World!"
...  result = func(testdata)
...  print "Invoked function with %s, result is %d" % (testdata, result)
...  return result
...
>>> use_callback(test_func)
Function provided as callback is %s <function test_func at 0146CBBC>
Hello in Testfunc, message is: Hello, World!
Invoked function with Hello, World!, result is 13
13

(make sure for proper identation)

So it in fact does not matter, where test_func or use_callback is
declared...
Did I miss something?
