KIVY language: multiple commands in a single line

Question

I have to do:

TextInput:
    on_text: something ; something_else

How can I perform this without getting errors in kv language?

Answer 1

You could just add more on_text bindings, line by line:

TextInput:
    on_text: something
    on_text: something_else

But I'd prefer binding custom function call, because I'm not sure order of execution is always the same with the above example. Something like this:

MyTextInput:
    on_text: self.custom_function()

and in python:

class MyTextInput(TextInput):
    def custom_function(self):
        something()
        something_else()
