function pointers

[Brandon J. Van Every]

Please pardon my ignorant questions.  I'm just trying to grok Python
efficiently as a complete beginner, without having to search endlessly in
every page of TFM.

I get the feeling that Python doesn't have anything resembling a function
pointer?  i.e. no way to call a specific function according to the value a
variable is set to?  In fact, I get the feeling it doesn't have pointers of
any sort at all?
