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.
