Hi everyone,

I know that I can call a source block as a function in a header argument
such as :var, inside noweb annotations, or with a #+call: as described here
https://orgmode.org/manual/Evaluating-Code-Blocks.html

I am interested in going one step further though.

I have one emacs-lisp block that generates a list of python files which
mention a search term provided by a variable (eg
gim/get-file-list(search="_utilities") )

I have another code block written in python that given a python filename
will do some ast parsing to tell me some interesting facts about it (eg
#+call: gim/get-python-program-info(filename="foo/bar/some_module.py") )

What I would like to do is to chain the two together (ideally inside a code
block so I can dynamically format the output) so that I can get info on
*each* of the files produced by the first block.

So is there a way to do the equivalent of #+call:
gim/get-python-program-info(filename="foo/bar/some_module.py") from
*inside* an elisp code block? I am aware that I can call things via noweb,
but I'm trying to see if I can avoid that for several other reasons
