Something odd here...

Here you assign func to each function in turn.

And here you create a key with it

And the same here, but the result will be that when you exit this
loop func will always be the last function.

But you won't have created a key for the last function so
this falls over.

I'm not quite sure what the second funcs loop is doing, but thats
the reason for the key error.
