[Tutor] How to put my functions in an array

[Jacob S.]

Hello.

    I believe it was Danny Yoo who told me about mapping functions a while
back on the list...
It goes along these lines...

funct = {'Add Virt':addvirt,'Remove Virt':remvirt,'More
Stuff':more,"Extras":extra}
def addvirt():
    pass
def remvirt():
    pass
def more():
    pass
def extra():
    pass
def dispatch(name):
    if name:
        funct['name']()
    else:
        pass

print """\
Actions include:
Add Virt
Remove Virt
More Stuff
Extras
quit
"""
while 1:
    command = raw_input("What do you want to do? ")
    if command == 'quit':
        break
    dispatch(command)


HTH,
