You need to be able to reference the callable via some name in the
current scope. For 'myPrint' that's easy:
    ds.myApply(Item.myPrint)

For 'hoopty', you can't do that, because in the current scope you
don't have a name bound to any object with the 'hoopty' attribute. But
since you know that the hoopty attribute was bound to the reset
function, you can get the desired effect like this:
    ds.myApply(reset)
