redefinition of unused function

[buran]

even if it complains, it will work in some cases, but not yours.

class Foo():
    def bar(self):
        print('bar1')
    
    def bar(self):
        print('bar2')

foo = Foo()
foo.bar()

Output:
bar2

However, given that this is part of class definition it doesn't make sense to have the first function - i.e. it will be overwritten by the second one in any case.

and what you do by these two functions is actually

def do_work(self, name):
    some_object =  self._map[name]
    # from here work with some_object
