I see lots of others have made suggestions, but here is a method
that I use frequently:
define a dictionary that contains references to your functions:
def foo():
.
. whatever it does
.
def bar():
.
. whatever it does
.
xfer={'foo', foo, 'bar', bar}
Then you can write
for fname in fnames:
xfer[fname](args)
May not be what you want, but seems like it is from your description.
