I'm slightly confused about why you need to do this?
You create a list of names (PROVISION_ACTIONS), then
you add the corresponding functions to a dictionary
by looking the names up in the globals dictionary.
But since uyou know the names of the functions why
not just add them to the actions list in the first place?
PROVISION_ACTIONS = [('foo',foo),('bar',bar)]
formhandlers = {}
for name,action in PROVISION_ACTIONS:
formhandlers[name] = action
Or even easier do it all in one step:
formhandlers = { 'foo':foo,
'bar',bar,
etc...
}
Why do you need the globals lookup when you know the
names of the functions already?
I'm missing something...
