Do what's below. Then learn about *args to make a version that
works with variable numbers of parameters...
class Foo:
def hello1(self, p):
print 'hello1', p
def hello2(self, p):
print 'hello2', p
def dispatch(self, func, p):
func(self,p)
def dispatch_as_string(self, funcname, p):
getattr(self, funcname)(p)
f = Foo()
f.dispatch_as_string('hello1', 'world')
