That returned value is actually callable! That is, you can then do
something like:
fn("This is the input string")
Of course, as you already know, you should test fn to see if it is
None. If so, they typed in an option you don't recognize.

I'd also look at using Paster to create the package. It gives you a

gs in the Python language proper, this is probably
the most confusing thing for new programmers. Heck, even experienced
programmers get tangled up because they project how they think things
should work on to the Python model.
The second most confusing thing is probably how objects get instantiated.
