基于正则表达式选择要调用的Python函数

Question

如果不先用def给函数命名，是否可以将函数放在数据结构中？

# This is the behaviour I want. Prints "hi".
def myprint(msg):
    print msg
f_list = [ myprint ]
f_list[0]('hi')
# The word "myprint" is never used again. Why litter the namespace with it?

lambda函数的主体受到严重限制，因此我不能使用它们。

编辑：作为参考，这更像是我遇到问题的真实代码。

def handle_message( msg ):
    print msg
def handle_warning( msg ):
    global num_warnings, num_fatals
    num_warnings += 1
    if ( is_fatal( msg ) ):
        num_fatals += 1
handlers = (
    ( re.compile( '^<\w+> (.*)' ), handle_message ),
    ( re.compile( '^\*{3} (.*)' ), handle_warning ),
)
# There are really 10 or so handlers, of similar length.
# The regexps are uncomfortably separated from the handler bodies,
# and the code is unnecessarily long.

for line in open( "log" ):
    for ( regex, handler ) in handlers:
        m = regex.search( line )
        if ( m ): handler( m.group(1) )

更好的解决实际问题的干法：

def message(msg):
    print msg
message.re = '^<\w+> (.*)'

def warning(msg):
    global num_warnings, num_fatals
    num_warnings += 1
    if ( is_fatal( msg ) ):
        num_fatals += 1
warning.re = '^\*{3} (.*)'

handlers = [(re.compile(x.re), x) for x in [
        message,
        warning,
        foo,
        bar,
        baz,
    ]]
