Hey Douglas,

Perhaps I was being too abstract? Here goes:

,-------------------------------
|  def selector(): 
|    ...
|    return funcKey	#get down get down
|
|  def func(): 
|        ... 
|  funcSwitch = {}
|  funcSwitch[funcKey] = func
|  ...
|  funcSwitch[selector()]()


even more interesting is a

,---------------------------------------- 
|  def judge(contestants):
|   for contestant in contestants:
|      ...
|      if answersQuestionToSatisfaction:
|         yield semiFinalist
|                
|  beauty[judge(beauty)]()

hmmmm, I suppost you could just call

    judge(beauty)

and have the judge call the contestant personally. 
But that may be *too* personal. Moreover, what about 
the other judges? Wouldn't it be best to simply state:

    beauty[judges[:](beauty)].thankyouForThisOpportunity()
    
This allows each judge to choose differently while all
the contestants behave consistently. It kind of like an
off the cuff decorator for generators, where

    beauty[...].decoration()
    
Maybe there's a better way of doing this? I don't know.
