if you look up "dir" in the documentation, you'll find related functions
including:

    getattr(module, name) => object

and

    vars(module) => dictionary mapping names to objects

something like this might work:

    for name, func in vars(test2):
        if not name.startswith("__") and callable(func):
            func_list.append(func)
