I'm having trouble appending to an existing function.

def functionA(self):
 var1 = hi
 var2 = bye
Class A(object):
 def functionB(self)
 var1 = hi <-- insert functionA here
 var2 = bye
 var3 = "something not in functionA"

Sorry I know this is probably basic, but I can't find this anywhere. The closest I've found is here Python add to a function dynamically . Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thats probably as close as you are going to get. You'd usually do that with inheritance, which is not really append. Commented Oct 21, 2013 at 0:53

    XY problem - what are you trying to ultimately accomplish that can't be done by just calling functionA() from functionB()? Commented Oct 21, 2013 at 0:54
  • @millimoose I'm just trying to simplify my code. I want all the variables from functionA in functionB. Commented Oct 21, 2013 at 0:56
  • Hm, I misassumed you were trying to do something needlessly advanced. Whoops. Commented Oct 21, 2013 at 1:01

def functionA():
 var1 = hi
 var2 = bye
 return (var1, var2)
class A(object):
 def functionB(self):
 var1, var2 = functionA()
 var3 = "something not in functionA"

how about that?
