Select one of 2 functions with the same name ?

[Stef Mientki]

thanks Francesco and "7stud",

The solution with objects is too difficult,
because I want to stay very close to the orginal language,
( so the users can understand the Python code,
   and the automatic translation becomes as simple as possible).

But after some tests, it seems to be quit simple:

<Python>
   simulation_level = 0

   def f1():
     print 'f1'

   if simulation_level == 2:
     def f1():
       print 'f2'

   f1()
</Python>


cheers,
Stef Mientki
