Calling a string as a function.

[brandon.mcginty at gmail.com]

I'm completely new to python, so sorry for my ignorence.
How does one go about converting a string, for instants one received through
tcp, into something that can be called as a function?
I'm trying to have what the user sends to the computer through the network,
run as a function.
If the user sends "motd", the function motd will be run inside the script.
Thanks Much,
Brandon McGinty
