Basically anonymous python, event handlers and everything else you
tried is *way* over-thinking and over-engineering, and no one will be
able to understand what you did there, and why, because that's not how
such things are typically solved.

The standard, working approach to form SRC_URI dynamically is to first
set a variable with a function, then use the variable inside SRC_URI
assignment. Which is what we all are trying to get across.
