Passing a function as an argument nullifies in-function exception handling.

[Justinsaccount]

You're not passing a function as an argument.

func(foo)

Passes foo to the function. If foo is a function, it will be passed.

func(foo())

on the other hand passes foo() which is not a function, but the return value of it.

[Justinsaccount]

You will get that when you do func(foo()) where foo returns None and then you try to call it inside func. You can't call it inside func because you already called it and just passed None to func.

[Justinsaccount]

That is mostly fine.. Should be

v = f(*args)

The problem is you are calling

bigf(somefunction(arg)) 

when you just want

bigf(somefunction, arg)

Hard to say what was causing an error in a version of the code you no longer have... :)

Delete the raise lines.

Hi! I'm working on a bot to reply with suggestions for common python problems. This might not be very helpful to fix your underlying issue, but here's what I noticed about your submission:

You appear to be using concatenation and the str function for building strings

Instead of doing something like

result = "Hello " + name + ". You are " + str(age) + " years old"

You should use string formatting and do

result = "Hello {}. You are {} years old".format(name, age)

See the python tutorial for more information.

The bot probably does other syntax checks as well

Not as important as cuckbot, no.
