It's a reasonable technique. Does have the downside that your
functions will be called in an unpredictable order, though. If that's
a problem, replace the dictionary with a tuple of tuples (and then
just take off the .items() in the list comp).
I would be inclined to avoid eval, especially if none of your
functions need parameters. Just hold references to the functions
themselves:
checks = {
'a': checkDisks,
'b': checkMemSize,
'c': checkBondInterfaces, # note that this comma is perfectly
legal - all these lines can be structured identically
}
[func[option]() for option,func in checks.items() if option not in r.d]
