Alan,
That's actually worse than you might think. Try this:
var = 'd'
def p(): pass
ftable = { 'a' : lambda: 'a',
'b' : lambda: 'b or c',
'c' : lambda: 'b or c',
'd' : lambda: p}
print ftable.get(var, lambda: 'default case')()
And what you get is:
<function p at 0x009BDFB0>
That's hardly a pass :-)

I suggested that if we had proper lambdas we could use 'em...
But of course you can still use lambdas just put the print
at the client side:
def p(): pass
ftable = { 'a' : lambda: 'a',
'b' : lambda: 'b or c',
'c' : lambda: 'b or c',
'd' : lambda: p}
print ftable.get(var, lambda: 'default case')()
But I still had to use a def for the pass... :-(
