Does python have an internal data structure with functions imported from a module?

[Carl J. Van Arsdall]

Alright, I attempted to post this question yesterday but I don't see it 
as showing up, so I apologize in advance if this is a double post.

Python Gurus:

Let me elaborate a bit more on this question.  Basically, I want to know 
if there is some data structure in python that maps a string function 
name to an address of a function or something to that nature.

If this is confusing, let me describe what I want to do and see if 
anyone has any ideas.

basically we have:

 >>>def functA():
...  pass

 >>> functA
<function functA at 80db128>

And what I'd like to do is:

 >>>__internalFuncDict__['functA']
<function functA at 80db128>

This is just for a little experimental project of mine, any help or 
pointers to the proper pages in the manual would be greatly 
appreciated.  Basically, I know that I can create something like this if 
I have to but I was very much hoping that something already existed 
somewhere that I could get to via python or by writing a C extension.

Thanks in advance!
