dynamic function names

[Bram Stolk]

Hello,

Is it possible in Python to define functions with a dynamic name?

something like:

def make_func(funcname) :
  def funcname :
    print "This func is named", funcname

make_func(foo)
make_func(bar)

The code above fails due to foo being unknown,
however, when calling as make_func("foo"), the "foo" string
cannot be used as a funcname.

Thanks,
  
   Bram Stolk
