Help: Passing values to function

[Ede1994]

I would like to use the following function:

def setupSeriesDescription(dataset, tag, value):
    r'''
    Modify the series description by adding a suffix
    '''
    element = dataset.get(tag)
    if element is not None:
        element.value = element.value + '-' + value

and then use them as follows:

def anonymize_dicom(src_path, dst_path):
    # List the files' names that we want to extract data from
    dicom_files = glob.glob(os.path.join(src_path, "**" ,'*.dcm'), recursive = True)

    # Iterate over each DICOM file in the folder and read it using dcmread()
    for file_path in dicom_files:
        # dictionary which map your functions to a tag
        extraAnonymizationRules = {}

        if True:
            # series description
            extraAnonymizationRules[(0x0008, 0x103E)] = setupSeriesDescription

        # Launch the anonymization and delete all private tags
        dcm = anonymize(file_path, dst_path, extraAnonymizationRules, deletePrivateTags=True)

How can I now use the variable value to be able to append something to the series description that differs from dataset to dataset?

Next time I'll think about it before and then I'm sure I'll find my mistake :) but maybe it will help someone later. The following works of course:

extraAnonymizationRules[(0x0008, 0x103E)] = lambda dataset, tag, value=value: setupSeriesDescription(dataset, tag, value)
