Calling functions in main script from a module

[James Bursa]

Is it possible to call a function in the main script (the one passed on the
Python command line) from a module function?

I've attempted to use something like __main__.function(), but this doesn't
work. The reason I want to avoid passing a function pointer to the module
function is because I'd like to generate the function name dynamically
(depending on a gui event) and use eval(), like this

    try:
        eval('event_message_' + hex(message_number))
    except NameError:
        pass

I could then write appropriate functions for events I wanted to handle in
the main script.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
James
