You can also use exec, but someone will tell you that the sky is going to fall if you do. I am one of the ones who think that calling a function with results = [f() for f in funcs] doesn't "work" because it gives a meaningless error message that the calling line didn't work. There is already enough discussion about this, so if you use "some_string()" to call a function, wrap it in a try/except with a traceback. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
