Do you mean something like that?

# test.py

def fun1(): return "fun1"
def fun2(): return "fun2"
def fun3(): return "fun3"

# list of functions
dsp = [f for fname, f in sorted(globals().items()) if callable(f)]
tab = range(len(dsp))
print dsp[tab[2]]()

# dictionary of functions
d = dict([(fname, f) for fname, f in globals().items() if
callable(f)])
tab = [fname for fname, f in sorted(globals().items()) if callable(f)]
print d[tab[2]]()
