title: Python runs functions that are elements of a declared dictionary
body: <p>As soon as i define this dictionary:</p>
  <pre><code>case_dict={
      &quot;run&quot; : runn(),
      &quot;name&quot; : namee(),
      &quot;help&quot; : helpp(),
      &quot;quit&quot;: quitt(),
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>python runs all these functions successively. How do i avoid these functions from running in the console when i just want to define the dict  ?</p>
  <p>PS: all these functions are defined earlier in the code.</p>
