Pointer to Python classes and methods -

i have function pointer dictionary points different class methods. best method of doing it?

class a():     command_map = {        "call func1 of object1":  ("1", func1)        "call func1 of object2":  ("2", func1)     }     def __init__(self, object1, object2):         self.o1 = object1         self.o2 = object2     def call(self, cmd):         t = self.command_map[cmd]         target = t[0]         func = t[1]         if target == "1":             resp = self.o1.func()         elif target == "2":             resp = self.o2.func()         else:             self._logger.warn("unknown target %r\n" % target) 

in case eclipse highlights func variable saying unused. how proceed? want call funca() of objecta or funcb() of objectb dependent on input values.

is there way self.o1 put "command-map"?

change command_map hold function names instead of actual 'pointers'.

command_map = {     'call func1 of object1': ('1', 'func1'),     'call func1 of object2': ('2', 'func1'), } 

then can define call method this:

def call(self, cmd):     t = a.command_map[cmd]  # command_map class attribute, not instance attribute     if t[0] == '1':         o = self.o1     elif:         o = self.o2     else:         self._logger.warn("unknown target %r\n" % target)         return      f = getattr(o, t[1])  # method     f()
