I guess I can classify my application(s) as more procedural than anything else. But I have a question about the best way to handle something in Python.
When given a mapping of keywords, I want to call a function based on a
certain keyword found when parsing a text file. The mapping looks like
this:
definClassMap={'SECTION':'bldSection','COMPOSITION':'bldComposition','OBSERVATION':'bldObservation','ITEM_TREE':'bldItemTree'}
So if the text file contains 'ITEM_TREE' I want to call bldItemTree
which creates an instance of the class ItemTree.
I currently use an if ..., elif ... construct.
Is there a better, more efficient, more Pythonic way of doing this?
Thanks,
Tim
