[split] Creating a variable as a function
#1
Hi,

I knew dict could be used to replace "select... case"... statements, the single biggest thing i missed in Python.
So with the info of post #5, i tried to make something, but it's not quite allright. What is wrong? I get an extra 'None' in the output.
Output:
This has plenty of useful applications, e.g. the pythonic way to create a menu/switch statement, using dict with functions as values.
def AAA():
    print('AAAxxx')

def BBB():
    print('BBByyy')

def CCC():
    print('CCCzzz')

aaa = AAA
bbb = BBB
ccc = CCC

myDict = {100:aaa,200:bbb,300:ccc}
x = myDict[200]()
print(x)
Can i do without line 15 ?
Paul
