That's what I'm trying to do but I'm running into problems with
the function values, since they haven't been defined yet.  

I'm a C programmer, so I'm doing it in a bit of a C like way;
prototype the function, initalize the array using the prototypes, have
the functions defined somewhere else and then let the linker work it
all out for me.  I was hoping that python had some sort of lazy
evaluation scheme for this type of behaviour so that you could defer
linkage (or variable evalutation) until runtime, or at least variable
reference (through the use of thunks or some sort).  Maybe I was
hoping for too much :)
