I'm still completely confused.  Does FunctionUser know what module the
user functions are supposed to come from?  Could you give an example
of what you want the actual contents of those 3 modules to look like?
E.g.:

    UserDefined1.py:
      import FunctionUser

      def foo(x):
          print x+3

    FunctionUser.py:
       def do_something_with (module, funcname, *args, **kw):
         func = getattr(module, funcname)
         func (*args, **kw)

    main.py:
       import UserDefined1, FunctionUser

       # the following should print 10
       FunctionUser.do_something_with(UserDefined1, 'foo', 7)

I don't think the above is quite what you want, but is it somewhere
close?
