I know that sys.modules[__name__] gives the module object for the current module. You could do: m = sys.modules[__name__] # M now current module object func = m.__dict__ [fs] # func has function named by string fs func() If func isn't in the current module, replace __name__ with 'Foo'. Add try/catch as appropriate in case fs doesn't exist in module M. If your database stores the function arguments in the same string as the function name, you'll have to parse them out separately. I make no claims to this solution being optimal, as it pretty much stretches my knowledge of Python modules and reflection. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
