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,
