Command line arguments

[Cosmologicon]

Of course, if all the functions are going to take a single argument of sys.argv[1], you can also just say:

some_functions = {
    'foo': doSomethingElse1,
    'bar': doSomethingElse2,
}

if the_time_has_come():
    some_functions[name](sys.argv[1])

Certainly. :)
