[split] Creating a variable as a function
#10

it will be the same workaround like the tuple
def spam():
    return 'spam'
 
def eggs():
    return 'eggs'

menu = {(2, 5):spam, (8, 10):eggs}
def lookup(lookup_key, menu):
    for (start, end), value in menu.items():
        if start <= lookup_key <= end:
            return value
print(lookup(9, menu)())
Here the tricky part is handling overlapping keys

no, it's not kind of tuple list, it's a tuple
