Create object which has keys with function type value [duplicate]

Question

I am working in one Python program where I want to create one object like we do in JavaScript.

var obj = {"sum":function(a,b){return a+b;}}`

Can I do a similar thing in Python?

You can, the equivalent in Python would be a lambda expression in a dictionary: obj = {"sum": lambda a, b: a + b}. — jonrsharpe

There are (at least) two ways of doing this:

test_obj = {
  'a': 'a',
  'func': lambda: print('test')
}

test_obj['func']()

Or:

def test():
  print('test')

test_obj = {
  'a': 'a',
  'func': test
}

test_obj['func']()
