Choosing the function to call depending on some condition

• dispatch
• function

1. OP has two or more functions and wants to call one from among these depending on some condition or the value of a variable.
2. OP has several functions and wants to call all of them.

Suboptimal alternatives range from a bunch of if cases to eval, whereas OP should use a dispatch dict or similar.

• Is there a way to store a function in a list or dictionary so that when the index (or key) is called it fires off the stored function?
