I have a python script which contains many functions.

Currently, I’m using the if statement to call the right function whereas the function name is passed as argument.

import sys

def myfunction(mystring):
    print(mystring)

def myfunction2():
    print('This Function 2')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    if (sys.argv[1] == 'myfunction'):
        myfunction('test myfunction')
    elif(sys.argv[1] == 'myfunction2'):
        myfunction2()
    elif ....

    

So, in cmd I just call

python.exe pyscript.py myfunction(‘test’)

The cmd command is fine, but is there a straighter way in python so that I can avoid the if statement and the rewriting of the function names in the script itself?

Thank you 🙂
