[split] Creating a variable as a function

[buran]

you can do something like this

def spam():
    return 'spam'

def eggs():
    return 'eggs'

# option 1: expand the keys
menu = {('a', 'b', 'c'):spam, ('x', 'y', 'z'):eggs}
menu = {key:value for item, value in menu.items() for key in item}
print(menu['a']())
print(menu['z']())

# option 2: define helper function
menu = {('a', 'b', 'c'):spam, ('x', 'y', 'z'):eggs}
def lookup_in(lookup_key, menu):
    for key, value in menu.items():
        if lookup_key in key:
            return value
print(lookup_in('a', menu)())
