Need to generate some functions.

[J. Robertson]

you can use the dictionary returned by the built in function vars, along 
the lines of

 >>> vars()["foo"] = lambda x: 3*x
 >>> foo(2)
6

but polluting your name space with data counts as bad style and will 
probably bite you at some point -- you probably are better of putting 
closures in a dictionary:

 >>> def mkdict(address):
	def something():
		return {'Address': address, 'Control': "SOME_CONST"}
	return something
 >>> mk = {}
 >>> mk["n1"] = mkdict("n1")
 >>> mk["n1"]()
{'Control': 'SOME_CONST', 'Address': 'n1'}
