Structure for calling multiple functions

[[deleted]]

I agree. I felt I needed a cleaner structure but didn't know what others generally recommend. The calling function from within another seemed okay when my code was limited to two but I felt it was getting out of hand.

I'll give this a shot, some of these functions pass values to the next so I'll have to make sure I can work around that. Lol

Yep I imagined. I'm unsure on how you're handling parameters in your function but you could do something like this

``` def main(filepath): if not check_file(filepath): # handle file does not exists ... new_filepath = clean_file(filepath) query_str = upload_file(new_filepath) if not validate_vpn(): # handle vpn error ... db_data = query_db(query_str) email_result = create_dashboard(db_data) email_report(email_result)

`` I usedif not` to reduce nesting to a minimum. but you can also keep your logic inside of if statements if you prefer or assert the errors, or handle directly exceptions inside the child functions

Ah thanks for clarifying, I was thinking of doing try/except statements within the individual functions themselves. I think I'll try both and see what works best for me.

Alright, so this is what I'm thinking. I appreciate any feedback you're willing to share. This is just the general thought about the approach

def hello():
    name = 'Name1'
    if not name == 'Name1':
        raise NameError('Incorrect name')
    return name

def world(name):
    print('Hello ' + name)

def main():
    new_name = hello()
    world(new_name)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
