The failure message that you get would give you a hint about reason for
failure.
You are storing a list of strings (the method names) as value for
dictionary key 'a'.
The invocation : lis['a'][1]() results in call similar to "gettuple"()
resulting in error: "TypeError: 'str' object is not callable".
What you intend to do is to store function objects in the list and
and you can do this as below:
lis={"a":[getabc,gettuple,getlist]}
