python - Can one function have multiple names? -


i'm developing bot on python (2.7, 3.4). defined 30+ dynamic functions used based on bot commands. while development, since not functions done, have define them empty functions (if not define code won't run) this: 

def c_about():     return def c_events():     return def c_currentlocation():     return

etc. many dummy functions.

question:
it somehow possible in python define same function multiple names?
this: 

def c_about(), c_events(), c_currentlocation():     return

functions not intern (i.e., automatically share multiple references same immutable object), can share same name:

>>> def a(): pass ...  >>> <function @ 0x101c892a8> >>> def b(): pass ...  >>> b <function b @ 0x101c89320> >>> c=a >>> c <function @ 0x101c892a8>  # note physical address same 'a'

so can do:

>>> c=d=e=f=g=a >>> e <function @ 0x101c892a8>

for case of functions not yet defined, can use try/catch block catching either nameerror:

def default():     print "default called"  try:     not_defined() except nameerror:     default()

or use dict of funcs , catch keyerror:

funcs={"default": default}  try:     funcs['not_defined']() except keyerror:     funcs['default']()

or, can funcs.get(not_defined, default)() if prefer syntax dict of funcs.

node.js - How do I prevent MongoDB replica set from querying the primary? -

read-operations-only: is there way have mongodb replica set, make mongodb instance on box connected to, mongodb gets queried? i have 3 ec2 instances behind aws load balancer. on each ec2 instance runs mongodb, part of replica set. i have express endpoints on nodejs , connect replica set follows mongodb.mongoclient.connect('mongodb://1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2,3.3.3.3.', function (err, db) { if (err) { complete('{}'); } else { i distribute load of queries evenly across 3 instances of mongodb replica set instead of default having queries routed ec2 instance primary mongodb defined, because destroys point of load balancer (which balance load of queries across 3 instances evenly). my understanding when connecting mongodb replica set, primary instance selected unless primary instance down, , therefore purpose of every secondary instance serve backup. in example people call hot,cold,cold. because there 2...
