<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you can get away with not telling me the answer, but pointing me to where to look for the answer, I'd be grateful.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In my Python learning, I am just now starting to understand how to make classes and extend them, so I have a very long way to go.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wrote this code because I wanted to avoid lots of if statements and having to maintain a bunch of code like that. Eventually, my idea is to read in strings from a file, look one up, and use it to execute a function. So I created the following
code. But nothing gets printed to the screen. How do I go about figuring out why this isn't happening? Here's the code.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">myfuncs = [ "func1",<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> "func2" ] <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">def func1():<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> print "func 1"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">def func2():<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> print "func 2"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">eval (myfuncs[0])<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">raw_input("Press enter to quit")<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
