data strucutures in python

[Matthew Banham]

Hi All,

I'm new to Python and I was wondering if anyone new of a way of doing the
following:-

I have a list of tuples of the form (variablename, variableFunction).
In Python, if I type:-

variablename = data then variableFunction gets called with data passed to
it. For example say I have:-

p = 'lambda', ChangeLambdaFunc

and I type the line:-

lambda = 10

then the above line gets implemented as:-

ChangeLambdaFunc(10)

Thanks in advance for any help,
Matthew Banham
