Try this - a class in which you define all the functions. The __init__ method builds the dictionary. >>> class X: ... funcs = {} ... def y(self): ... pass ... def __init__(self): ... for itemname in dir(self): ... if not itemname.startswith('__'): ... item = getattr(self, itemname) ... if callable(item): ... self.funcs[itemname] = item ... >>> y = X() >>> y.funcs {'y': <bound method x.y of <__main__.x instance at 0x01119828>>} _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
