Maybe the actions can be bound methods of the container object class?
For example:
class Container(object):
def __init__(self):
self.actions = {}
self.actions['foo'] = self.foo
self.value = 3
def foo(self):
print 'foo', self.value
c = Container()
c.actions['foo']()
Otherwise I would go with Alan's suggestion of passing the parent to
the action class constructor.
