Well, option 1 has the limitation that you can't set your names
outside the global namespace (because globals is the global namespace,
not a local namespace).  You could get around that with option 3:

---------
def func1(*args):
   pass

t = "func1"
eval(t)(1, 2)
---------

Which is the simplest method I've seen.  Again, I don't know why you
want to do this, and you should really find another way.  This is
_very_ bad practice.
