Why don't you use a dictionary?
Something like:
actions = {
'choice1':function1,
'choice2':function2,
}
actions[text]()
Example:
>>> def a():
... print "a"
...
>>> def b():
... print "b"
...
>>> actions = {
... 'a':a,
... 'b':b,
... }
>>> actions['a']()
a
>>> actions['b']()
b
>>> def c():
... print "Hi mom!"
...
>>> actions['c'] = c
>>> actions['c']()
Hi mom!
>>>
