An easy way to call multiple functions from a package?

New to Julia
1 
using Distributions;

# Currently 
[Distributions.tdistpdf, Distributions.tdistlogpdf, Distributions.tdistcdf]

# I want something like
Distributions.[tdistpdf, tdistlogpdf, tdistcdf]

wondering if there is an easy way to do this that I missed.

Well, you could do:

using Distributions
const D = Distributions

[D.tdistpdf, D.tdistlogpdf, D.tdistcdf]

It looks like you’re trying to do this:

julia> import Distributions

julia> getproperty.(Ref(Distributions), [:tdistpdf, :tdistlogpdf, :tdistcdf])
3-element Array{Function,1}:
 tdistpdf (generic function with 2 methods)
 tdistlogpdf (generic function with 2 methods)
 tdistcdf (generic function with 1 method)

But the const binding proposal seems much better.

Yea, I’ve been doing something like that

[pkg1.f1, pkg1.f2, pkg2.g1, pkg2.g1]

The title say to call multiple functions, for that you can use metaprogramming

module A
    boo() = println("1")
    baz() = println("2")
    bir() = println("3")
end

for f in [:boo, :baz, :bir]
    @eval A.$f()
end
# Output
# 1
# 2
# 3
