title: Python - is there a way to store an operation(+ - * /) in a list or as a variable?
body: <p>The reason I ask is pure curiosity. I could see, possibly, that this might be useful if you didn't know ahead of time what operations you wanted to apply to certain variables, or to apply a different operation during a certain level in a recursive call, or perhaps it may just make certain things easier and/or neater.</p>
  
  <p>Though am just speculating, it could be a really bad idea, but overall am just curious.</p>
