title: Help--Function Pointers in Python
body: <p>My idea of program:</p>
  
  <p>I have a dictionary:</p>
  
  <pre><code>options = { 'string' : select_fun(function pointer),
  'float' : select_fun(function pointer),
  'double' : select_fun(function pointer)
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>whatever type comes single function <code>select_fun(function pointer)</code> gets called.
  Inside <code>select_fun(function pointer)</code>,I will have diff functions for float, double and so on.</p>
  
  <p>Depending on function pointers, specified function will get called.</p>
  
  <p>I don't know whether my programming knowledge is good or bad, still I need help.</p>
