Using a dictionary to select function to execute

Question

I am trying to use functional programming to create a dictionary containing a key and a function to execute:

myDict={}
myItems=(\"P1\",\"P2\",\"P3\",....\"         


        

Answer 1

You are wasting your time:

1. You are about to write a lot of useless code and introduce new bugs.
2. To execute the function, your user will need to know the P1 name anyway.
3. Etc., etc., etc.

Just put all your functions in the .py file:

# my_module.py

def f1():
    pass

def f2():
    pass

def f3():
    pass

And use them like this:

import my_module

my_module.f1()
my_module.f2()
my_module.f3()

or:

from my_module import f1
from my_module import f2
from my_module import f3

f1()
f2()
f3()

This should be enough for starters.
