George - Thanks for your reply but what you suggested is not working: def FA(param1,param2): print "FA" + param1 + " " + param2 def FA(param1,param2): print "FB" + param1 + " " + param2 def FA(param1,param2): print "FC" + param1 + " " + param2 temp = sys.argv[1] func = globals()["F" + temp] func("Hello", "World") I ran the script with first parameter as B and i get the following message KeyError: 'FB' -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
