I've heard picking which function to call sometimes called "dispatching", and picking which function to call based on functions held in a dictionary called "dictionary dispatch", or "dictionary based dispatching". I think this is in contrast to a C technique called "table dispatching". A google search for the phrase "python dictionary dispatch" should get lots of hits talking about the technique (I had to include "python" otherwise google kept trying to give me the dictionary definition of the word dispatch).
