Are you forgetting that all bindings are not directly name bindings as created
by def? ;-)
(See also various tkinter-related uses).
>>> funs = [lambda:'one', lambda:'two', lambda:'three']
>>> for use in xrange(2):
... for i in xrange(3):
... print '%susing fun[%s] => %r' %('re'*(use>0), i, funs[i]())
...
using fun[0] => 'one'
using fun[1] => 'two'
using fun[2] => 'three'
reusing fun[0] => 'one'
reusing fun[1] => 'two'
reusing fun[2] => 'three'
